so we sing from rooftops

i've finally switched over from xanga. it's like getting a haircut or moving into a new apartment. starting over. clean slate. i'm excited.

i'm in boston for my spring break visiting people i love and reminiscing about a year ago when i used to feel like i belonged in this town. it's strange how i feel like a visitor, not really comfortable to walk the streets alone even though i know my way around better than current residents. of course, life moves on regardless of whether or not i'm living here, but returning makes me mourn the days when i could claim this city as my own, knowing i was in the center of it all. now i feel forgotten and unnecessary. clumsy on the brick sidewalks, uncertain as i cross the streets. what a metaphor for my life.

in other news, i found an apartment for this summer! very exciting. it is a huge studio with big windows and is right next to a park (see photo above). it will be the first time i will be living in an apartment complex as opposed to a house-like apartment building. something to look forward to. i called the girl back right away to let her know i wanted it for sure and she kind of laughed at me for being so excited. a blessing indeed.
