"There's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go."
-e. e. cummings
talking with an old friend can really open your eyes to how much you've changed.
especially when this old friend is older than you and remembers you as the young, naïve thing you used to be.
as you fill your old friend in with everything that you have learned
and seen
and accomplished
and thrown away
you realize that four years
even just four months
is such a long time.
ever-changing
yet never-changed.
I don't think freshman Kara would like senior Kara.
I'm not sure sophomore Kara would like senior Kara.
Junior Kara might be slightly embarrassed,
but by now she had better have seen it coming.
i'm sleepy.
