Dear

Dear,

For what it was worth, live forward and never look back.

Current first world problems

1. West Nile virus. 

in Dallas, at that.

I remember every look upon your face.

Cause when I close my eyes and drift away, I think of you and everything’s OK. I’m finally now believing

….. that maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you.

Those humid summer nights in Texas

… that I miss so much. The days where I have no obligations or responsibilities. For three months I would stay up till the wee hours of the morning just reading books, watching a show on the laptop, playing a game. And then when the sun comes up, perhaps have some breakfast, and go to sleep. It’s nice to sleep in a dark room with the cool AC while it is 100 degrees outside. Then by the time I wake up it’s 4p, and the fun begins all over again. Oh, the carefree days. Not that things are bad now, everything is turning out so wonderfully for me. Who knew many years ago I’d be where I am right now, pursuing what I love. I miss Texas and its familiarity. The same streets I would walk my dogs in the summer, the same local market I’d stop by for quick food. The same gigantic Half Price bookstore on Northwest Hwy that I adore. I was always watching for sales. So many memories. Being in Chicago makes me feel like a small town type of girl. Chicago is so different, and I love it. In less than a month I will know if this will be my permanent home. Time for new memories in a new place, I’m anticipating the excitement!

LOVE.
