Lately...

Lately I've . . .

explored new parts of San Diego

found myself obsessed with Ernest Hemmingway

experimented with cooking... and its all been delicious :)

been discontent and longing for home

started planning for Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

thought so much about the past

destroyed all my opponents at card games

watched foreign films with subtitles

consumed an unhealthy amount of coffee before 7:00 am every morning

forgotten to drive with my top down

bonded with an Autistic 6 year old girl named Midnight

cried more than once

had a lot of time to reflect on who I am becoming

remembered James A. Barrera and how he changed my life

sung at the top of my lungs in the early morning on my way to work

taken long walks up and down the bay at sunset

questioned people's intentions and my own expectations

laughed uncontrollably during a game of kings cup

day dreamed about being in love

accomplished my goal of spending less than 100 dollars a month on groceries

fallen in love with a cafe called Lestats

said "see ya later alligator" no less than 7 times a day

danced away my sadness

enjoyed going to bed early and waking up even earlier

told myself over and over t.b.i.y.t.c.

wanted to go back to Norway, but only for a little while

swam in the ocean in the middle of the night

learned to trust my surroundings

not had the chance to lay out at the beach

become more independent and happy with being by myself

realized things are not always what they seem

heard the words "I love you" come out of the mouths of children

worked on being a better version of me

missed my best friend
