wearing two new rings my mom bought me. she paid for everything this weekend-- it's too much, i kept saying, uselessly. i know her love for me; i feel it everywhere.
the air is decidedly warm tonight. we near the end of october's first week and it's just dipped under 70 for the first time all day, having spent most of it 10 degrees above. the air smells so sweet, you can't breathe in enough. like peaches and laundry soap. like orangey thickness, the blue night sky.
i start a new blog post to talk about the air. my plant needs water. in the middle of a reading on cellular evolution, how cells evolved. my mom took pains to break down the logistics of moving to california last night. (the plant's fine though.) she'd be more than happy to accompany me on the drive across the country, with a uhaul attached to my fiat, you know, for my cute lamps and headboard and stuff. she has always been this universally supportive and often expresses gratitude about being able to see me live my life. you don't have to tell me i'm lucky; i know.
pat - wished bone
I thought I'd find you in Point Reyes
I thought I'd see you in Bolinas
'Cause when we met, I didn't know
That you were moving to San Francisco
this song just randomly came on my spotify (!!), daylist titled "light slowcore sunday evening." apparently, i'm always listening to "cold, twang, countrygaze, tender."
i'm excited about everything i might get to do.
and i'm not nervous, i realize as i talk to riley-- i'm embarrassed. about being so young to want anything so grand at all. when i leave the northeast...something different will surely happen.
