Inhale

you know what i've been doing a lot of lately? breathing. how funny is that? just inhaling and exhaling and noticing it, taking a few minutes to be still and silent. something always told me i had to fill it, i wasn't worth the silence. i feel a lot different now.

all those years of dusty summer lazy days and smoking in the daytime and crushing them with the toes of our dirty converse are finished - and in a beautiful way. that hazy late-adolescent light is faded and it's getting brighter and clearer out here. and i took my sweet time to make sure i had somethin sweeter to look back on, of when we were just we and that was enough.  we can keep the beer and expensive celebratory cigarettes and we can even the keep the converse (i bought new ones though), but those lazy days of wasting away are done. now we stand up and pack up and stop watching the pretty looking paths criss-cross in front of us, and we finally pick one.

i'm glad i bought those new converse because i've finally got to start walking my real road.
london, i can't wait to meet you in august.
