you’re going about your day and…
*bam*, you remember a snippet from a dream.
i just realized…
last night, i was in santa cruz.
on campus, at ucsc.
walking through the moist trees.
crossing the cowell parking lot
to the stevenson parking lot.
i was headed to the coffeehouse.
i was happy and safe.
i actually dream about being there again quite often. i have to just give in — i left too soon, too abruptly. i wasn’t ready. eventually, i’ll need to go back. and it will be wonderful.

There is something about college that will always be emblazoned in my head. Going back, for me, is bittersweet. Because I don’t always get to share the memories with those people who helped make them in the first place!
happy birthday arw!
i left too soon as well. which is why i’m moving back for a few months!
