absent

part of the reason i had not written in a while was because i was/am having trouble with blogger. it no longer allows me to put in links, pictures, or anything other than plain written text (i cannot even use "bold")

another reason was because i had no internet for a while - got service only last week

and i guess the more important reason is because i feel like so many things are happening right now...and being in the middle of it, its hard to have any perspective. like not seeing the forest for the trees? sometimes i am deliriously happy and can't believe that my life is my life; i am suddenly thirty (an age in which i thought i would feel more old or wise than i do); i am living in a new place (new city, new pace, new job); in my first serious relationship/real relationship/in love for the first time

and other times i cry for what appears to be no reason - homesickness? fear?

My first night in New Jersey I burst into tears. Two nights ago, I burst into tears. It is both liberating and isolating, exciting and terrifying, to live away from your family. No matter how many years I spend out here, or how happy I am, there are still times when the homesickness is overwhelming.
Big hugs to you. xo

such is life carmencita.
see amu's blog, she's going through a similar process. happier than a happy camper one second and missing home like crazy the next.

you ( and her ) are in the right path.
and everything will be OK.
unless you stop writing in this blog, in which case I cannot guarantee anything !! lol
