Current Music: Cream - White Room
Today was beautiful. Sitting out in the park at lunch with my co-workers, playing frisbee and kubb. I drank beers in the sunshine and laughed nigh constantly. Spring in Madison is really special, either through its own merit or because it's such a relief from the snow.
I didn't even worry about my barking laugh or looking like an idiot chasing down a frisbee. One of the quietest developers in my office gave me a high five.
My cheeks are burning from smiling.
It's not the close, lifelong, deep friendships I've been accustomed to. It's new, fresh and exciting. Shallow as well. Not that there's anything wrong with any of those things. Everything is very different for me out here and I'm adjusting. I enjoy so much of what's happening but. . .
It's impossible to not draw comparisons between what now feels like two very different lives. I'm not even used to living alone and that fact startles me on its own.
