Catharsis

Summer is in full force, with kickbacks and shows galore.
It's been ridiculously hot, which is hard, but we manage.

In An Aeroplane Over the Sea..

Things have been pretty hectic these past few days. My whole family is picking up and moving to San Antonio this summer and I'm helping them before heading back to California. I've been enjoying the company of old friends and New Mexico sunsets before I'm out of here for god knows how long. I've become a big believer in just drifting along, I don't really have any place to get attached to at this point. In other news, August second is the day I get to see a special someone and I am looking forward to that beyond measure.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of the past week or so (Sorry about the food heavy pictures!).

Last Night, She Said...

Here's to the nights that remind me of my love for New Mexico.

And how much I'm gonna miss it in the move to Texas.

But new adventures are always welcome.

Home

    These days, I don’t feel at ease often. My winter clothes and most of my shoes are in storage in Oakland. My baby pictures and family heirlooms are being boxed, ready to travel away from the home I grew up in to a new home, in San Antonio. I’ve got my arms reaching for Austin, a place I hope to feel more at home. But my thoughts are drifting towards somewhere else, a place that I feel not a home with the streets or places or a bed, but a single person.
   This may sound cliche but sometimes moments in life really do feel as if they are flashing by, not simply moving along. It’s a hard concept to focus on completely, like trying to look at the sun. You’ve got to glance from the corner of your eye, not stare straight at it. It feels as though it was just yesterday I was standing in line to see the sixth Harry Potter movie, dressed like Luna Lovegood, 4 months into my drivers license. It’s funny how the small moments sometimes change you the most.
   So, it’s hard to feel at ease. I’m getting used to the idea of temporary places and things. I just have to keep in mind that there are those people I love that are permanent. (I’m looking at you, family and A. and N.)
