Saturday night, listening to Pink Martini
I miss the Portland friends who've moved away, the Virginia friends I left behind, the Grinnell friends I haven't kept up with well enough. I wish people would stop moving away. I wish I would stop moving away. I want everyone to move to Portland and then stay here.
Twenty-eight is supposed to be young, isn't it? I know in a decade or two or four I'll look back on my late 20s wistfully and remember myself as young, with so much yet to learn. Right now I feel old and weary, too tired to keep living through the same old patterns again and again. But I don't know how to break with the past.
It's cold, it's dark, it rains every day. This will continue until May, though the days will start growing longer soon. Maybe I need one of those mood-enhancing light boxes.
