| | my days begin either still snuggled up against the warmth of kieran's body enveloped in the soft comforter and protected by his arms or i open my eyes and greet the day to the cityscape of belltown. it's the wee hours of the morning, as sunbreak peeks into my bay windows, that i'm reminded that i really have become a working adult. no more roommates, no more yelling at my mother, no more "throw on a sweatshirt and show up to class an hour late", but rather routine, discipline and most of all, responsibility. work has been a learning experience. i've discovered many flaws about the company previously hidden by an overly fabricated idealistic perception of this dominating monster. and i'm slowly, more and more, starting to figure out what may be more suitable for myself. consulting? finance/equity sales? i'm trying to figure it all out. there's something strangely "nice" about having a routine. it's nice to hit the snooze button every morning at 7:30, and to step onto the MT132 at 8:17. and it's the greatest feeling in the world to know that at the end of the workday, it's going to be a lovely dinner and movie on the couch with kieran. i've never been one for relationships. especially ones that were calm, steady, patient... in other words, normal. it was always this addiction for complication, for drama, for pain. and now, now that things are the most simplest they've ever been, they're absolutely perfect. kieran's more than i could have asked for. older, wiser, patient, so smart, so talented, so sweet, so caring, so kind. for the first time in my life, it feels so unbelievably good to be so unbelievably vulnerable. all my friends are getting old. we meet up for dinner still in work clothes, gossip over happy hour, and plan weekend getaways to the hottest cities all over the world. christmas in san francisco and new york with kieran, march madness in miami, weekend rendezvous in vegas...
belltown, queen anne, green lake, bellevue, kirkland...
good wine, good food, good company... this is definitely the good life :) |
