My new life has started. I am living with my friend Alicia in Oakland for a bit – she has graciously offered a cozy nest on the floor in her apartment for me while I save money to get a place with another friend Kim in mid-June.
I feel like I am in a bit of a culture shock – leaving a life with many roommates to a life with just one or two. I haven’t had to buy my own food for two years. So many things were taken care of – cooking, shampoo, scrubbing the toilet. Now I am back to living without a huge community behind me, without so many people to catch me if I fall, or if I lock myself out, or if I need a ride to the airport.
It’s funny. I actually feel like I did when I came back from Kenya. I feel that same sense of shock. Last time I digested my experience by making a beautiful scrapbook. This time, I think I will write. A lot. And I will put it all on paper to keep it, because it was so sacred.
Welcome to my new life – it is a conglomeration of my expansive past, singular present, and unknown future.
