I miss my family
They all live in Colorado now, and it was really nice being together again. Sister had a Cinco de Mayo fiesta to celebrate her graduation and we really let loose at the party.
But how do you put something like this into words? I just say, "I miss them," but it's the same words every time. I can't say in this venue what it is that evokes that loneliness when it hits me, but I know it's there. It's the same words each time and if I try to describe, the words just fall flat.

That's what literature is for, in my world. If you feel something that you can't really find the words to explain, it's time to make films or stories or poems where your words or characters struggle with similar feelings.
Or if you're like me and have deficient time and discipline, you turn to things other people have written. At least that way you can find similar themes in fiction and say, "there. that's close to what it is. it's something like that."
Thanks for the voicemail, btw! Sounds like you had a great weekend. I've been feeling like what you and the man most need right now is a huge bloc party in your apartment complex, so I hope some of your fiesta weekend carries over into the social void of missing your people.

Hey, no, we moved! Now we live like 5 miles south of the state line. Our landlords are church people of ours and they are great. It's so quiet here in our new place...there's a nightingale that sings all night long. It's like 5-10 degrees cooler than in the city because of the lack of ashphalt and, I think, the elevation. And it's a house, a 3-bedroom house! So, no more "Cell Bloc Building P" for us. It's great.
