nothing ever ends
Well its been awhile. nothing personal.
you know how people always look back on time and say how it seems like just yesterday? since the day you first met. since the baby was born. since you started that job. just yesterday?
I wish i knew their secret.
I'm looking back and it doesn't feel like yesterday. 6 years. That's how long its been since i left my life in California and went on a road trip to the absolute-middle-of-nowhere Texas. a trip that should have lasted a month. three tops. but 6 years? Not a chance.
And now that it is all over and I'm finally heading "home" I keep telling people that I'll be back.
one year. two tops. then I'll be back. but i know. and the smart ones they know. we can't plan our future. this place that i hated and then tolerated and now don't know what I'll do with out has become a part of my life. just like every person I've met here. and every un-airconditioned house I've ever lived in. every horrible customer I've every had to deal with. every sleazy bar I've taken a shot in. and every beautiful boy I've every kissed. these are memories. take away one and you might as well erase them all. this is life.
Welcome.
