Earthquakes

A few weeks ago, pretty much everyone in the valley felt the aftershocks of the earthquake, a few days ago, an earthquake of another kind found an epicenter in my apartment at 2 am. Since then, things haven't been quite the same.

As you all know, when you fight with your friends or family, things don't go back to the same right away. It's almost been a week now, and instead of trying to find our footing again, we are becoming divided. This is your life and this is mine, with no blending or meshing in sight. Even when we are home, sometimes it just feels like we are at a roadside rest stop marking our presence for only a moment in time. There is no more time for words, shared meals, or even watching tv together. You'd rather be way over there, when I am right here. I've tried reaching out and trying to make the first step to a truce, but really....I can see that it's really all for nothing.

What am I doing? Well I'm just bitching right now because I can't say these words to your face because your never home and you probably won't even read this.




....I hope all of your summers are going well as the last few weeks come to a close.
