for the first time in nine months, i traveled back to kansas to celebrate thanksgiving with my family. the minute i was in town, it felt like nothing had changed and this whole [portland] thing had been a dream. making the rounds to my favorite spots, i was recognized and greeted by friends and people who knew me. a feeling i hadn't had in a while. from bars and restaurants to shops, i constantly ran into wonderful people who had been a part of my life for a long time. after being in a desert of anonymity for the past nine month, i was flooded with the feeling of being recognized.
i can't lie, it was a wonderful and warm feeling i missed.
i cherished every minute spent with family and friends. a perspective you only get after months out of eyesight from them.
days later i returned [home] to maine and slowly got back into my routine here. i found myself looking back through my snapchat memories and the whole wichita trip now felt like its own dream.
and that's a thought i'll hold on to. i'm lucky enough to be between two dream worlds.
here are a few of my snapchat memories, in their wonderfully raw quality.
