i feel like i've been everywhere but right here. and this is the last you'll hear of any of this because i promised myself when i started writing this thing that i wasn't going to become that person that wasted all his words writing about how little he was writing.
my Nonna had the perfect quote today (the way she always seems to, you should know). spend all your time focused on every little step you're taking and you simply will never get anywhere. how is this relevant to me in this moment? i really can't say. but it feels relevant. because today was a quick baptism with family i don't get to see as often as i should and yesterday night was just a bike ride to the Jazz Fest with Cromeo in the background, street hot dogs and dorky tourists asking why you're lucky enough to be walking around with a group of pretty girls you hardly even know. and before that there were concrete walls to be built on sticky summer days. and before that perfect strangers convinced that you're always smiling, even when it's just on the inside. and before that a kick ass day at the water slides with Amy. and before that Fiona Apple in all her raw and angry glory. and before that...
not sure i want to go back any further. what's done is done. all seemingly inconsequential steps on some kind of path that is remains very much undefined. so we look ahead. and keep walking.
