Washing my hands
As Beermann so eloquently put it, it's time to wash my hands of things and allow a course to run its own chart. I can't effect it anymore because I've basically been saddled for the entirity of the problems in a relationship (I take responsibility for for my part which I'd say is about half. But I don't know what happened to justice, personal responsibility or common sense, hey, America is great right?). I don't need to go into anymore detail.
I spoke with Ray in Hawaii tonight, after talking for just a bit about things he said the same thing. Good conversation, he seemed to be lonely and we ended up talking a lot longer than I thought. I really miss seeing him almost on a daily basis and just chilling out while talking about life every night.
I think there is something to be said to really establishing a community of people that you can talk to about anything and work together to help each other. I don't know - I don't think we're solitary creatures, we crave this companionship, friends to talk about deep issues with, to talk about our dark feelings - friends we can trust with those feelings and who trust us likewise.
It's an interesting situation. The community of friends that I have has been stretched to places like Oahu, Kansas City, Montana, Georgia, Los Angeles, and others have kind of checked out of my life completely. I'm amazed that some of managed to keep their circles together beyond the college phase of life, I don't even know if I have enough structure right now to do anything like that.
Regardless, I've been re-energized in the past couple months by work, by my conversations with friends, and by my hope for the great things to come. I know there are some cool things coming up, some soon, some many many years away.
Here's to the future, and here's to the night.
