yeah so now i might bitch a bit.
to tell the truth, there are some moments when im not sure atlanta is for me. dont get me wrong, i do love it here and i have met some cool people. but i know in my heart this is not where i am going to spend my life.
maybe it's my nomadic nature. maybe it's the fact that james and i have no extremely close friends, or at least nothing that compares to the friendship we have between eachother. cliche, i know. and i know he and i share a bond few people are lucky enough to experience. but i wish we had more than 938749238092 acquaintances.
i wish i had girlfriends i could call and have over for lunch, or go shopping with, or tell all my secrets to. Someone i trust with my heart and soul and who is my best friend.
i know you cant just pick someone out of a crowd. but i have lived here ten weeks and am still a bit lost in the crowd.
this month marks james and i's two year anniversary, and it's sort of extra special for him i guess, because this year also marks our official "common-law" marriage in the eyes of the canadian government. in short, if we tried to move back to canada, he would share my citizenship because he is legally my spouse in the eyes of the canadian government.
welcome to citizenship by proxy, my love.
good things? i adore my new job. i got to use my second language tonight with a native speaker for the first time in almost a year. and the money is insane.
i'm all about insane money.
maybe i'll save all my pennies and move back to the motha-land.
stranger things have happened.
half-kidding!

oh, don't let lack of best friends bother you. that stuff takes time, but you'll be amazed when it happens. life gave like-minded people magnets such that they could better find each other without trying.

Transition can be a difficult thing. The best thing is that you have each other. If you just pick up and move somewhere alone it can be very lonely. Good friends can come in time, and peace can return. There are definitely better places to live in the world , but there are also so many worse places.
