my heart was left in the city by the bay

coming home from san francisco is always hard. three days is never enough to be there and to do all i wanna do, and see all the people i want to see. i ended up having to go home and see my family everyday. on the third day i was in such a bad mood that i threw a fit and almost didnt go. weirdly enough, they were so understanding about it and it only made me feel more guilty. i only wondered to myself WHY i was so mad that i had to go home again. was time with my friends really more valuable to me than my family?

the last time i was in sf i felt relieved when i got back to new york. i felt like a nomad in sf like i didnt belong there anymore. this time, i felt nostalgia come through me again as i was there. 

when will i not feel like this anymore? what crap.

the east coast swing (i)

the name isnt exactly an alliteration, but what the hell....i know i originally started this blog to write about my travels but since my move to new york, ive felt that this is the craziest journey i have gone about so far. lets see how well i keep up with my blogging.

approximately a year ago for my birthday one of my best friends gave me the best thing i own-my very own personalized calendar complete with pictures of our escapades. i didnt realize how valuable it actually was to me until i moved across the country from her. now as im getting ready to flip to the last page in the calendar (showing the month of june 2009), i also didnt realize how quickly time had flown since it was given to me. i honestly thought the pages would never end and i would be able to flip to a new month with crazier pictures and better memories than the one before.

june 2009 will also mark my 6 month anniversary of moving to new york i guess i feel nostalgic that i cant look to the calendar anymore not only because ive been here so long, but because im sad of friends and experiences that are portrayed in that calendar.

i know its stupid to feel sorry myself that i haven't made what is equivalent to a 6 year friendship in 6 months, but i am so impatient. it also sucks to know i did this to myself and most of the people that i love most are still at home.
