A weekend at Wes - chapter two.

An extremely long week will be followed by another, but at least in the middle there was laughter. And friends. And unexpected surprises. And so much relaxing.

This weekend was the perfect answer to the "my relationship just died" blues. (Because even if you're the initiator, it still sucks hard.) I laughed so hard I almost cried, slept in unexpected places, including a balcony, and watched a movie with fight scenes so awesome I cheered. And last night I spent the night in Providence with Z & E, because sometimes its just not a good idea to go home yet.

I'd like to say that this week will be better than last. I'd like to think that things are finally beginning to get on the up and up. I also realize that is very naive and things will just generally blow for a while. But in the meantime, there are places I can go where I am loved for nothing but who I am, and boys I can kiss just because its fun and harmles and why not, and hugs just a-waiting for the taking. My birthday last year was not nearly what I'd hoped it would be. This year, next weekend, will be filled with people who care and hiking and breakfast and country fairs. And maybe even more kisses. I can get through the week knowing that.

But until then, there is reggae - Willie Nelson style - on repeat. (Thanks, A.)
