see how PDA is totally normalized now? However it's really only among the young people - I would say 33 and younger. I still see older people glaring at young couples when they are too PDA'ish. things have changes so much in 5 years!

I love being away from eveything familiar.

I love the color pink.

I love being alone.

I don't have a TV, Wireless Internet, cell-phone, friends, radio - nothing!

I feel like this is the first time in a REALLY long time where I have only my thoughts to process and real time that allows me to think of what's happened in my life. The last time I felt this way was when I moved to NYC. This feeling stops when things become normalized. When you become familiar with the bus lines, subway maps, your local spots - this feeling of newness ends. Then your life starts - and you wish you had more time in the day to do the things you want to do.

Where will I be in 10 years? Where will this little girl be with the pink jacket?

How do people work together on things they are not comfortable with?

I want to be in a warm place - and I miss American bear hugs - hugs with no shame.
