The Silence Breaks

Sometimes I stop writing places for fear of jinxing the journey or process. 

I didn't get enough of my pre-move insights and reflections in, but I am here in Chicago, and more or less thriving. 

My apartment is better than I could have ever hoped for at this stage in my life, my roommates are pretty damn spectacular, and my neighborhood has a lot of charm. 

On Friday Michelle Tea and Cristy C. Roads did a reading at my neighborhood bookstore. 

Last night there was an acoustic show down the road at Uncommon Ground, a lovely place of which there is nothing like it in CA. 

I have a job... albeit, not an ideal one, but I have also secured a freelance gig or two to sustain me monetarily and creatively. 

It's all coming together, and I only miss parts of California. Though missing the people does not lessen.
