family, friends and familiarity

What do you do when you don’t see eye-to-eye with your partner?

You can:

A. agree to disagree
B. hold it against them
C. passive aggression
D. leave
E. negotiate (but won’t this option just end up falling in one of the above?)

Some say that life won’t bring to you anything that you aren’t strong enough to handle.

Ok.
But, there are degrees of successful handling.
Whatever.

What does it mean to be human?
I live. I die.
But what about inbetween?

Heaven help me. I think I am going insane. But, I feel pretty clear about it. I guess I am not going insane.

I miss my family. My mom, were she here would laugh and play with Will so I could take a bath or work on my craft (which will bring me both pleasure and money).

I miss my friends… their familiarity, their wisdom, their stories and jokes that would make me laugh and help me cope with the hard parts of being a new mom and life in general.

I am making friends here but they are new moms too and it takes a while to grow a friendship like the ones I grew in Portland. I am thankful for what I have here in the Bay Area but I sure am missing family, friends and familiarity: Portland.
