today i saw a dear college friend who was in town for a concert. we haven’t seen each other since 2017. since then we’ve lived through a pandemic, graduated with a masters (me) and a PhD (her), examined our spirituality, and shifted family dynamics. she’s a professor at our old university now, and we wondered at how different we are from our college selves. so proud of us & our capacity for growth & how we’ve learned to like & trust ourselves over the past decade. what an honor to witness!

i haven’t seen her in two years. i have known her for a decade, we facetime every single day, but we moved away from one another in 2022 and this is the first time we get to reconvene since 2023 i cannot sit still

I saw someone I haven't properly spoken to in over a year and still got along with him like we hadn't missed a beat, which was a nice reminder that no matter how much I've changed the person I used to be is still recognisable and lovely

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
