Mind-tied, not to be confused with tongue-tied ...
So Christmas is approaching wicked fast. That means school is approaching way too soon for my taste. I do miss some of my peeps back at school, not gonna lie. Life here in KC is pretty easy. I'm planning on going up to my high school tomorrow...hopefully we'll be able to get in since security is always tight, haha. But seriously. It's funny because the more time I spend with people, whether it be friends or family, the more I feel like I've been away from home for SO LONG. Let's see if I can explain this one...
You know how when you're with a group of old friends and you're all trying to catch up on eachother's life?...well, I was in that situation over Thanksgiving but no one really asked about me because they all prolly figured that it was just too much to catch up on. And that got me thinking...
It's hard for me to REALLY "catch up" with anyone because no one really knows any of the people or place that I talk about. None of my friends from home have visited me at school...so in essence, no one would really grasp how funny one memory might be or how cool one situation was...they just wouldn't get it because they wouldn't have anything to picture in their minds...
Also, this past weekend I was able to talk to an old friend. (One of the first people who actually wanted to look through my picture albums from the summer and past quarter and actually make an effort to know what was going on in my life, it was nice). Sometimes I feel as though I put in all the effort. Anyways, the strangeness of some situations that happened this summer never really hit me until I talked to my friend that experienced them. Namely, a wedding happened with someone very close to my heart - and when I found out about this wedding I was primarily wierded out about it but didn't really think much of it...then, after actually hearing details...I actually felt things, emotions if you will. It wasn't so distant anymore. I guess "catching up" can be a good and a bad thing. Ha.
Anyways, sometimes I get the feeling from people that they're actually mad at me for being away from my family for so long. I can't really explain that one...but you know the look that you get from people of "you're such a bad offspring for not being home for 10 months"...i don't know, but sometimes i feel like i get that one from people.
It's sad though because my two worlds don't mesh or colide...they're so different - Ohio and Missouri. I guess if you could bottle all of this up as feelings and emotions then you might understand my time here. Home is good. Very good, in fact. But there is still an air of strangeness...of time passed that I wasn't "in" on. Memories passed here that I can't share in on because I wasn't...and memories I have that no one really cares to know. Kinda sad really. That's the nature of life I suppose.
Interesting what comes out of your mind this late at night. I guess I'm mind-tied, not to be confused with tongue-tied....Until next time.
