Stayed at a friend’s place and it was so nice to get to be welcomed into her family for a bit. I love seeing the dynamics and jokes and core memories and references each family has. But it always makes me so so sad in a deep achy way the next few days. I know all families have their own issues too.

i graduated with my master's last week. my dad and several of my lifelong friends flew up to celebrate me. i showed them around my new city, introduced them to my new friends, and just hung out with the people i love the most. i love my new friends here so dearly, but i'd forgotten what it was like to be surrounded by people i've loved for years, some even decades. i forgot what it was like to be known so truly and deeply by the people around me, to laugh so easily and constantly because they know exactly what i find funniest. i know i'm a closed book a lot of the time and it can be hard to get to know me, so my newer friends haven't gotten to that point yet at no fault of their own, but i didn't know how refreshing it would be to be immersed in such familiarity in my new home. i'm utterly exhausted from the week everyone was here, but i'm so filled with joy and love and i miss everyone greatly already.

I’ve always been standoffish with family. I was happy to hang out with just my parents and siblings, seeing grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins just a few times a year around major holidays. I was a shy kid. As I’ve gotten older and started to lose some of these people, I realize I’d like to be closer to them. We all share something, a bond. I’ve started getting closer with a couple of cousins, hanging out together outside of full family gatherings. It’s nice and comforting.

A lot of my friends live in a different state than me and I take the train up to see them semi-regularly, which gives me something to look forward to often and makes hanging out feel extra special. I’ve also found that by coming to town local friends are brought together who otherwise may not have seen eachother for a while because life in proximity can often shake out to a “I can always see them next weekend” mentality. Visiting helps to sustain an intentionality to my friendships’ which I like and think is important. Having friends visit is also very sweet and a rewarding experience that makes my heart swell. Additionally, having sleepovers as an adult is rare but sleeping next to your friend and having a coffee in the morning is a top tier experience which is not going to go wasted on me.

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
