talyenAnd sometimes, I even let them in.
Sunday, I talked for 2 hours or so with A, next door, about everything under the sun, mostly things troubling me, some things troubling A, and I felt worlds better. We're going to go biking sometime, A, A's partner K, and I. And dinner, too. They think I'm nice because I've always waved and said "Hi."
Yesterday, K & E came over when I was done with my run, bringing over food and juice and a movie. I shared the contents of my cupboards and 'fridge, such as they are, and we had a wonderful time. I remembered to hug them lots, and kiss them goodbye, and tell them I love them. They brought me clothes that fit, too, and grinned when I told them how fast I'd run two miles today (16:17!!).
And then I talked late on the phone with C, exposing my fears and my triumphs, and my self, and getting the same in return, along with advice and laughs and at least one long-distance hug. I believe I gave same in return.
We all need connectedness. I keep apart, trying to keep from getting hurt when I leave, and therefore not really here, and that hurts, too. It's summer, and I'm tired of being scared. It's harder to be scared when the sun is so high, and loves me so much. People here love me, too, and it's okay if I love them back. I can trust that joy will lessen the sorrow when I leave.

Date: 2007-06-06 12:32 am (UTC)Dayton is, however, kinda blah. Not sure what people do up there except watch national (and regional) sports. Okay, that's what they do here, too.
But it's warm ... and educated people have really good chances at getting jobs ...
I would love it if you were closer. Dayton is really close.
