Sometimes I wonder what would have happened. I don't believe you are lacking awareness of the presence if you wonder "what if?" now and then; it is about trying to understand a different path, even if it not the one you chose in the end.

Something about Joanna Newsom that I love is how she continuously grows on me. The more I listen to a song, the more I connect with it and feel it in my own life. Really great poetry going on there.

I feel weird knowing so many of my dearest friends are in graduation mode now... I wonder where they will go in the coming months and how their lives will pan out and if it will continue to make me worry about my own. I'm really excited for them, though, because a great sense of pride and relief come with that big walk. Very strange times, indeed.
