Last week, while I was missing the friends I left after my grad school program was over and wishing they were here, I finally was able to articulate how come I have been in so many (too many) long distance relationships, which are not relationships at all — it was so satisfying to look at my life through someone else's eyes. Doing so made me appreciate the little things I take for granted in my life: live jazz shows, knowing a bunch of musicians who let me know about live jazz shows, literary events, spontaneous chats with complete strangers, great coffee shops...too many things, more than I can count or even realize and appreciate right now.
The challenge now is remembering how I was able to see my world through a tourist's eyes.
