i'm caving in

I'm starting a blog. I have finally become jealous enough of everyone else's self-important proclamations that I will now make my own. I will send them out into the world and hopefully no one will find them for a while.

Ok, I moved to Seattle a while back and I find myself missing the most random people. Obviously I miss the boyfriend, close friends and family but I'm missing a lot of other people too, a lot more than I expected to. Maybe it's because the great efforts to visit those people in all likelihood won't ever happen. I know i'll get to see the close people again, but I've lost the larger part of my circle of acquaintances. Or at least I feel that way, who knows maybe I will get lucky and see all those people again, but I have to say this, I'm gonna miss the art school kids.

When I first visited Seattle it was a beautiful spring, when I moved up it was a beautiful summer, now it's a cold and wet fall with the largest amounts of rainfall and flooding that Seattle has seen in like 10 years...great. But yesterday, yesterday was sunny and the air was crisp and cool, the scenery was filled with trees of all different colors and that is why this place is just so inspiring. I feel so small when I walk through the city to my bus stop for the short ride up the hill to my 100 year old apartment. I think back about all of the life that must have been lived here before me and I just know I have so much more to learn, do and experience.
