I couldn’t help but think about school and everything else ending. I liked standing just outside the couches and watching them—it was a kind of sad I didn’t mind, and so I just listened, letting all the happiness and the sadness of this ending swirl around in me, each sharpening the other.

hipster sadness unhappy-person

We had a party, a Father's Day party, going-away party and daughter's birthday party all wrapped up in one, ... He was great; the thing of it is he loves kids.
cities people towns
I'm in love with cities I've never been to and people I've never met.

I ran like a cheetah - well, like a cheetah that smoked too much.
