Summer

I wonder if readership goes down during the summer, but that's just a passing thought.

Tonight, I thought a lot about how people change. I thought a lot about not only how much I have changed - and I think I have - but also how much those around me have grown and become their own person. I guess I am talking specifically here and I hope that's okay.

About a year ago, I came out of my first long-term relationship. It was my first for a great many things: first time feeling like you're flying, first time wanting to spend every minute with this person; it was also the first time I discovered that life is complicated, that it doesn't always unfold before you like you imagine. It's taken me this long to really sort through the feelings and to really come to terms.
