sometimes my life becomes all too much to handle. since i can’t drink and almost never smoke up, i escape to a warm, sunny climate. a bed beside the pool beside the ocean. sleep, eat and read. lucky to have my friends around to talk me through the rougher patches. to get away, if only for two days, is enough to send me back refreshed and renewed. this was a tough year for everyone. so while i lie here and figure out my next move, i am resolved to forge ahead, even if i make everyone crazy in the process.
