…but “today, a tradition.” Summing it all up with one thing, it was a year of things. Not so much things to eliminate (though there are plenty), but things to remember, things to cherish, things to pretend only existed in alternate dimensions. My life consisted of flights across the Pacific with the most modern of amenities, and flights returning watching films that I shouldn’t be watching making me realise it will never be what it should have been and couldn’t possibly ever be like that. Things, things, things, things… things.

Things ended, and continued, and continued to end. There were places I meant to go and never did, and places I didn’t mean to go and went twice. These are only notes, you shouldn’t know what I mean. Most of all I feel dulled, pulled out at times for the use I had grown so accustomed to, yet sheathed for far too long. It comes down to moments, sometimes you know… everyones gotta have their moments, but now they are spread out.

So this year I’m changing nothing, remembering everything I forgot, and walking into the crowd and screaming. People will probably think I’ve lost my mind, people have been more wrong, I suppose. They are all metaphors, I use cliche writing tools in these words to symbolize things I am not saying. I had a lot of realizations about packages that we’re marked return to sender, and I think I may send more.

As for next year, the Ivory Coast is ours; It’s gonna be another year of jackets.
