and you say that you're okay
my mother used to always say that i would get so much more done if i could just cut back on the socializing. but my question is--if there isn't socializing, what is there? i like to see people, be in good company and warm groups where there is multilayered converation and sustained visibility.i've been spending a lot of time alone lately (hey, i am planning a great move here) and while i generally don't miss the rich company of a whole bunch of people, i do enjoy people i enjoy and some sweetly hot snuggling would be nice sometimes.
but i guess my version of "a lot of time alone" doesn't translate into the same in other people's worlds. for example, yesterday i volunteered at an incredible production called "beneath" that was created, produced, directed and performed by the queer people of color liberation project. i was so crunk upon their brillance and company that i lingered after the show and went the the cast and crew dinner party just to be around family.
the night before i went to my old school homegirl's fantatic onewoman show and then to the club/bar with a sweet friend. yep. i shut down the club (other friends had come in a little late and i wanted to catch up with them too) then made my merry way home.
i love folksy and good company and kindreds and i can't help but to know that it's going to continue expanding upon my arrival in the bay. brown skin. beautiful brown people who love (beautiful) brown people.
homegirl yesterday told me that it's been reported. seattle is the second whitest metropolitan city in the country. second next to portland, oregon. and i thought i was going crazy. no ma'am. it's just time to go.
and so i say i'm okay. and i am.
i'm also ready to get the hell out of dodge and blossom into my own adulthood on this here earth.
yep. it's true.
and so i am.
always.
