DC
HA! I probably shouldn't be doing this at work, but the site let me in :)! sweet. I learned a new term this week. Thanks to the New York Times and posting an article about gangs on the Pine Ridge Reservation. "Commod Squadding" W.T.H! really people, youth, so-called gangsta boys and girls who think they've seen the rough side of life, carrying weapons, their weapon of choice, a can of beef, applecause or fruit cocktail to throw at members of other gangs. Wow. Gangsta has come to a whole new light. Interesting. Sad. Depressing.
DC, different life and new surroundings are with me these days. It'll will be a month in a few days of my new life here in DC. Still settling, still adjusting to my cubicle, learning the in's and out's of grants. Exciting times for my friend Melissa B and I! Two Melissa B's, aww the curve balls life has thrown our way keep us laughing. It's nice seeing her mature and always being the humble person I've known since our freshman year at the University of Minnesota.
Had my first moment of loneliness lastnite. I knew this day would come, but last nite I realize I'm in this change alone for the most. I have friends and family who support me for the most and who are happy for me, and sooo thankful for Melissa B, yet somehow loneliness overtook my heart and soul lastnite. It's hard to realize in a month or so I will be happily in my own apt, yet come home to just me. I have always realize I need to take care of me, especially lately and took this change to do that. I just want someone to be there every now and then to support me. I was here for Thanksgiving and spent it in good company, will be here for xmas and may venture to my cousins. I'll miss my mom and dad, seeing Micah who probably has mastered the stairs at my moms house by now. too cute.
Having conversations about tribes, youth, languages is motivating and re-assuring that I am in the right job right now. I love being able to see the work of others for their tribe, for the future of their children. To better their land, their people and their culture is what I missed.
I miss him. I miss the city lights. I'll visit soon and hopefully fill my heart with the warmth of the city lights, the touch of his hands and that genuine smile that is engraved in my heart.
