This time last year...

I was probably drawing a bath in my freezing Dog Town, Ellensburg apartment. Cold it was, but it was mine. My brother's old music posters hung on the wall, tea brewing, music playing. A tiny kitchen, wood floors and big windows....

Know the difference between real magic, my friend, and just an incantation. Even a careful heart can be tricked by the devil.

Oh the times

And so they go. Always too quickly.

I could lose my breath trying to keep up with the chaos of just the last few years. College went by in one loud and wild blink. I've traveled, I've nested. Each year I grow older and I never really finished being 17... I can't say no one warned me.

Today is the first of 2016. Not quite as amazing as the first day of 2015, driving through the mountains and meeting my friends' baby, but still good. Yoga, berries, and coffee this morning. Music, laundry and cleaning later. One ham sandwich and a Stephen King novel with two dogs trying to look cute.




Life is so short. And I am in such a hurry to live it up. To do absolutely everything, go everywhere, study everything, leave a mark... But I'm grasping at straws. Ambition with no direction. Hungry for passion.

As I fill out this year's calendar, my heart sinks with the reminder of my Peace Corps failure. There must be something else out there for me for now, no?




Oh time will tell.
