Second Morning at Redondo

8:15am. i forgot to close the window last night. the wind blows a little chilly in my bedroom.

8:16am. still hiding under the comforter and blankets. eyes fixed on the alarm clock while trying to use my mental power to stop the needles from moving.....so fast.

8:30am. finally get out of bed, push open my bedroom door and into the living room. both of my roommates are gone for work. bright sun lights quietly shine through the wall sized window and flourish the living room floor. it makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over. I have to take a step back and spend a moment to take all of this in. I am not exaggerating if I say i feel exhilarate and vibrant standing in my pajamas in this living room.....of this new apartment, new city.....with this new life....
Changes did me good!!

on the way to work, i find myself singing along to "Phantom of the opera"

Think of me,
think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye.

Remember me
once in a while
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again,
you long to take your heart back and be free.......

We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
