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 College parking lot
to the Stevenson College 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!
