Plane ride to California

LOCATION: Plane , Mid way between Michigan and California

YEAR: 2008

TAGS: starting over

PUBLISHED: May 13, 2008

So there i was, window seat. Sitting between 30,000 feet and my future and the man i thought i loved at one point. He was sleeping on my shoulder and holding my hand. I let it slip out as i adjusted myself so i could better see the lights of California for the first time. They were beautiful.

And as i laid my head back and closed my eyes my shuffle selection came on. The first few bars of piano and i knew i would be haunted by this moment forever. "Long December" was always a song i cherished, but never before could i apply it to my life. And looking back then on the last year of my life i got chills.

Indeed it had been a long year. A lot of things had changed. I went from being the love of someone's life, and their fiance to being a confused friend with benifits. I still don't know how he really feels about me. But if he's out there i hope he can forgive me for the things that i did, just as i have forgiven him.

My first semester of school went by so fast, i felt so alone at the begining. It took me months to get over him. But when i did, there was no holding me back. I've finally become the person i've always wanted to be. It may have taken me moving across the country and being by myself to realize all these things.

But i'll never be able to hear "Long December" without thinking about the begining of the rest of my life.
