time it was and what a time it was
a time of innocence, a time of confidences
Writing the date today, Oct. 22. Having just read this article:

and applying for a new job in the same location
I can hardly understand how everything (that happens for a reason) happens so fast
I appreciate it very much.
do you remember hearing about my elementary school best friend (of course you do)…. two weeks ago I found out that she is pregnant. Actually she had just found out herself. Not a long term boyfriend from what I gather but he is in the picture.
oh lord oh lord it was the weirdest feeling to hear that news.
The girl I made forts with. The girl I made silly voices and imaginary worlds with. The girl I talked about first crushes and boners and tongue kissing with. The girls whose boobs grew in so much larger, faster and more beautifully than mine. A womans body while I was still all straight lines and baby fat. People thought I was her younger sister. I made up for it by being the bossier one.
We drifted, and when I see her (in person or facebook) I still revert to that precious time
the news, she is with child-
a moment for sure. a moment where you see a glimpse of the tense yet codependent dance party between time & change and being & existence.
A moment not brough to me by facebook (small grace), but by text message via my iphone
He sends texts referencing Sartre and de Beauvoir.
I asked what made him go from working as an engineer to working as a liquor store manager.
He answered “I thought it was the job that was making me unhappy”
