This song describes this past weekend. And the way I feel about my life.

You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place, I told him, like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again.

Lows

-I had a really cute pedicure last week. The activities of my life have turned it way less cute.

-Discovering that the tennis racquet I’ve been playing with for years makes me play horrible.

-College wrapping up.

-My body waking me before 7am after a night of shenanigans.

-Potentially missing yoga today as a result of these shenanigans.

-Not knowing where my phone is.

Highs

-Justin Beiber. I don’t know how that happened.

-My home city in Spring. It’s in full bloom and smells sogood.

-Nights full of shenanigans.

-Playing really good tennis.

-My schedule for my final quarter of college (garden internship, agroecology class, bike building class, howtogetajobaftercollege class, feminist archaeology senior seminar, gospel choir).

-My friends.

Today I was walking on campus.

And I saw a cute boy.

I got really excited. Because the boys I find attractive are rare around these parts. And this boy was cute, cute, handsome.

So I’m standing there swooning (for real). 

And as I get closer to this boy, I realize it’s the dude. MY dude.

I felt like giving him a high five.

It was great.

22 was a great year

-one of the bests, for sure.

-this girl, is different than this girl.

-because this girl had no idea what was comin’ at her, or the things she would choose.

-this image still looks pretty good. just add a mountain and an ocean and some redwoods. like this.

-but this is still the same.

-i’ve done some growing and changing and crying and laughing and dancing and drinking and writing and shopping and learning and hurting and running and overthinking and exploring and adventuring and singing and a whole lot of me-ing (g-ing) and it’s been grand grand grand.

-alright, 22, i see you.

-23, come at me dude! i’m super excited for you.

The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.
