A few haikus for you's

Sometimes we get weird

but, then again, we're all weird

so pardon us please.

I just miss you all

like Holly Golightly missed

cat when he ran off.

Yes. I just made a

Breakfast at Tiffany's nod.

I'm kind of obsessed.

But not in a bad

way. I'm obsessed in a good

way. It is brilliant.

I am reading the

Truman Capote novel

currently. SO GOOD.

See, I love Audrey,

but the Holly in my head

is different. Duller.

The Holly in my

head is sadder. But hopeful.

Audrey is sparkly.

So that is what I've

been up to. That and being

crazy with Lisa.

I wish I could be

crazy with ALL of you guys.

Everyday friends.

But you're all so far

away from me. From Pittsburgh.

Break is just so long.

Family is great.

Really. I love them a ton.

But, but, but but, but

It's hard. For months at

school, I've created a new

family. You guys.

My heart is split. Half.

Between home and school. Two beds.

Two lives. Me, between.

Wheaton is dear to

me. But home is just as dear.

More dear. But, different.

I've changed, but home has

not. I am a new person

but home is the same.

Old problems return.

Insecurities arise.

Things I thought I solved.

Absence makes the heart

grow fonder. Proximity?

Tougher to stomach.

Maybe this makes no

sense. Maybe you feel the same.

Either way, miss you.

It will all be fine.

I am enjoying old friends

and comfort and joy.

Our connection is

less constant but ever strong.

Thanks for being you.
