the good times are killing me

to borrow a phrase from my mother, leaving swiftcurrent is like "poking sharp sticks in my eyes." it was a long and awful drive through north dakota, with a broken heart and puffy eyes. i will miss the mountains, and my beautiful seasonal friends, and delicious taiwanese breakfast sandwiches, but new adventures await.

right now i'm having a short tryst with minneapolis. my friend jess drove here with me from montana, and we've fit as much citylove into the last three days as possible: cocktails and vegan food and biking and new tattoos and retail therapy and dinner with family and old friends. gotta pack it in, because tomorrow i pack my suitcase and fly to germany.
