Escalating

All I know is you're my favorite mistake. -- My Favorite Mistake, Sheryl Crow

It seems that I'm going out in a flash of light and clouds of smoke. I can't stop what I'm doing, but I don't want to keep being irresponsible on my body and my finances.


As much as it has been decided that I will be returning home in October (within the first few days from what it seems), I have been letting loose, and I've still got a whole week to goof off in -- sort of a last minute vacation before I go.


I feel bad enough as it is, leaving everything there, but in comparison, there isn't that much to leave behind after all. I thought that I would be happy living out here, and I am, but things keep happening, and so I'm going back. And I thought I'd be happy to go back, and I am, but you know how things are; it's that same back-and-forth I've been dealing with for some time now. Who am I going to be now, and what will become of the me I tried to pursue here? What will become of the friends I made here and the times I had with them? Will they all just go away, or will they blend into some new phenomenon?


God...

The you that you pursued gets to follow you back, as you create a happy medium between that you and the you you were before.

Have a safe trip home, friend.
