and really good peanut butter sandwiches

many many more photos

time has been such a funny friend for me lately.

where is it going?

because for me it's been swirling down the drain at a really alarming rate lately ,

or maybe a metaphor that's a little less negative,

like it's been falling down the hourglass

too fast to count the grains.

i spent last friday through wednesday in akron.

i had a thing on friday then sunday then tuesday.

i spent a lot of time with my friends,

talking about our lives + our futures + the magic baby that's entered our lives,

about cats + musicals + a tattoo we're all going to get in spring.

we ate amazing bar food at 1am while discussing the difference 

between novel writing + poetry way too loudly/drunkenly,

which are really the best kinds of conversations to have about art.

when i got back to my apt in pgh

i was so happy to be home,

but i've still been a little blue ever since because

even though i love my life here so much more than there

i wish all of them could be here

so we could go days instead of weeks between coffee dates 

and really good peanut butter sandwiches

and taking photos like the ones above.

how have you been, my dears? 

is this year ending at the same rapid speed for you

as it is for me?
