Standing on the stage with his Addidas sweats and micophone, he said
Reach in and tell me what you see inside your body.
My heart is chipped, I reply.

Some days I feel my skin stretching to accomodate sprawled nerves,
Taut like an overblown balloon.
And in a split second,
On cue,
The tension is dissipated, and things are better than before. Somewhat.

Our home. I quite like the sound of that.
Months ago people said we were crazy for doing it.
They still do,
But we are the ones living it.
The cocktail adventures and peanut-butter and jelly french toast on the balcony
Make it all worth it, don't you think?

I've always been such a nazi about boundaries.
The past six months have conditioned me into correcting most selfish tendencies, but
Having space is great.
*
It's time to make yet another move.
And hopefully, it'll be the last for a while.
I'm packing my box and heading right across the street.
