i want to write about how much my soul hurts and how i don't know why. and about how today i saw stars and nearly passed out while experiencing a minor stressful situation and how frightening it was. and how i love this town but after a while the smallness of it makes me sad and alone feeling no matter how many people i know i run into while biking across town. how i think about if you could see, like actually physically see like thread or string how connected we all are to each other here and just how small the degrees of separation are it would creep other people out as much as it does me. or maybe if you're from here you're just used to it. it makes me want to leave. it makes me want to go someplace where i can meet people that i think i don't know and find that they don't actually have an unpleasant story to tell about somebody i do know. i think i'm a pessimist, or i am today. 

i want to write about these things to get them out, but i'm also conflicted about putting them out here in public, why is blogging so acceptable? if i had this pinned to my shirt it would be a whole different story.

Wow. I like your honesty. Ann Arbor can be an overwhelming place. It's hard to separate from drama and just enjoy what it has to offer, aside from the folks with bad stories. I can't begin to imagine what it's like to come from an anonymous city to a place where everyone knows your (middle!) name. I'm sorry that you're finding so much stressfulness and drama here. I know Ann Arbor, I chose to live here ten years ago and have never regretted it, even when the drama brought me to the end of my tiny thread. In thirty four days, I'm leaving. I don't plan on moving back (of course, I can never say never). It's terrifying to think about meeting new people, but it also feels like sand bags are lifting from my shoulders. Like I can breathe. Like I can be the person that my time in Ann Arbor has made of me and be seen for that, not judged for the girl I was seven, or five, or three years ago. 
I hope that you find your feet here, or that you find the strength to walk away. 
So much love!
