flashback

Any city in the world one finds themselves in for long enough is sure to become no bigger than a cuppa tea. And what a warm, humbling cup it was last night. Essentially it was a farewell but it was a reunion of sorts too. Our friend is departing for a life in italy to study art & design. Through all these mutual loves of beer, friends, art, music, and other cultural treats we indulge in, we found old faces too. High school, art school, work school and drinking school had its super summer disco and we were all there in taffeta clad memories. it thrills this little spider monkey no end to hear and see how life is for these amazing people and also, possibly a little selfish but gives your own self esteem a boost because when you hear yourself talk about, explain, relay past adventures and future plans, you start to see how quickly time passes, that your life is blessed, and even more so to be given the opportunity to once again be around such extraordinary souls.
