Tempus

Everything has to do with time these days.

I have to now find trivial ways to keep myself distracted, consume myself with whatever flapdoodle can push that hand around the clock. My life that was once bursting at the seams is now kind of inane and meaningless.

On a positive note, this is all temporary. Temporary.

The fact that I feel this empty is obviously largely to do with love and grief and all the classic torture devices of relationships. But as the Dixie Chicks so wisely pointed out, 'wide open spaces' can also be a blessing.

If these are life's lessons...she'll take this test

    hey michelle, i hope it`s cool if i still read this these days. just wanted to say i like what you wrote about time. lately times have been weird -the past few days for me have been really good, but it`s definitely because i`ve focused so much on living it up. i noticed the periods in between, when the distractions are gone, are borderline unbearable. that just shows how amazing you are (and that i really miss you). best wishes with the new york trip and i hope to seeétalk to you before then. hope the weekend festivities are going great!
