Some real bombshells have dropped the last few days, nothing that has to do with my life but much that has to do with my friends' lives. And although it does not change how much I love them, I am just all-around stunned, horrified, and my perspective has just taken an incredibly abrupt and much-needed turn.
At the same time, I have felt more at home in these past few days than I have in ages. There have been so many Virginia Woolfesque moments of the sublime recently. Being doubled over on Queen Street laughing at Zara's remarks about my pockets. Writing in a drafty Second Cup with Ian and Christine's faces visible behind my computer screen and Great Lake Swimmers in my ears. Eating a homemade dinner on my floor watching ridiculous TV with four friends sitting in chairs above me, bickering and mocking and giggling. After spending so long attempting to establish my geography and my history, I am in the here and now, in my time and place, and I am embracing it.
