Not even a third of my tangibles. Choosing these to put up for the staff show was a warm saunter down memory lane as I sifted through several boxes of them — reminding me of all the lovely people in Western PA I befriended in my early 20s, the fun we had, and how dear and close so many of them still are to my heart. Tomorrow I’ll leave for a cross-country trip with one of them. I am so goddamn lucky.

Because right now I need to hear that from every audible outlet possible. And…in knowing that, everything causing me bouts of anger and anxiety today will be cause for me to be appreciating lessons well learned tomorrow.

Tonight I talked to a friend I’m actually not really friends with anymore. We were really close and it hurt a lot when we suddenly weren’t. But tonight we had an actual organic conversation that lasted more than a few sentences..the first of that nature since last summer. It felt really nice. And thinking about it now is really nice. I bet she feels the same because I know she feels as deeply and whole as I do, and it’s why I’ll always love her anyway.

I think the conversation might have facilitated the hope that maybe we can be friends again.

I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships lately, so I’m going to get sappy. Be prepared for what’s to come.

I had the pleasure of spending my day with this wonderful woman. I’ve been friends with Amelia since middle school, but we both like to think our “real” friendship started when I was living in NEPA for a year after college.

What I’ve always loved the most about her isn’t her quirkiness, her unabashed good will toward others or even her listening skills… It is how true she stays to herself, principles and heart. I can always count on Amelia to love wholly and honestly. She is the type of friend you treasure because you know she’ll be there forever. And now I see her exercising her gigantic, wonderful and deserving heart as a mother to a joyous two year old.

I’m so gd lucky to have her in my life.

You know?

Nu Shooz looping all night. Reminds me of being in Denver and Leslie, Emmy’s sis, solving a big mystery. I just got bit by a mosquito. Those fuckers have always loved me.

My heart feels so heavy and full when I look at images Kelly makes. I think it is because I am proud of her head, heart and talent. And that is what it feels like to love a friend unconditionally. I am lucky to know the difference and always so grateful.

whooooaaaa.
