It's Been a Long Time

I haven't posted as frequently as usual.  I was on vacation in my hometown, Hamlet, NC.  It seems funny calling going to Hamlet a vacation.  Not just because of the irony in how little there is to the small town, but also because, for so long, Hamlet was the only place there was.  Sure, I've traveled outside of the town before.  Been to extravagant places like New York and the Bahamas.  But Hamlet was always what I came back to.  Even when I was living in Chapel Hill, NC or in Laurinburg, a part of me felt like it was only a matter of time.  But while going to visit my family and friends, I realized something.  These last two and a half months have gone by quickly but they feel like a very long time.  Hamlet didn't feel the same anymore.  Less home, more nuisance.  I guess that means DC is changing me.

I'm hoping it's for the  better.

Fuckin' Perfect

There are moments in our life when we wish we were a little better, a little stronger, a bit more confident, and much better liked. I say fuck that.

You are perfect. Any improvements you make, in order to make you happier, are simply icing on the cake.

Embrace the wonderful you.

On the Road....Again

Coming back to Hamlet for the first time since moving to the DC area.  It hasn't been long enough to where I really feel like I've been gone.  But I do feel a bit of a difference.  Like a part of me has changed.  I do miss my family and friends from Hamlet.  It'll be very good to see them again.  But I know I can never go back.

Something in me has changed.

Do you see that portion of the jagged peak

that looks like a 

man is 

standing up there?

Imagining that he is me.
