took a walk tonight. it had been awhile since i’d walked at night. used to do it all the time in iowa city, but the area of charlotte i live in doesn’t have any good areas to walk through. sounds ridiculous, i know. just something about the neighborhood makes it such that i can’t think and lose myself the way i used to back in iowa city. tonight got my mind turning so it was relieving.
i know it’s the name of my site and all, but i really love autumn. i’ve had this dreadful feeling all summer that i won’t get to experience autumn in iowa this year. i guess i’m afraid the season doesn’t occur in charlotte the way it does in the midwest. or maybe i’m afraid i won’t have anyone to share it with like i did last year. then again, whenever i think of autumn, it’s always through images of iowa city, so perhaps it’s just the town that i miss. maybe i need both to fill this void.
it was a clear sky tonight. stars were out. made me feel like i wasn’t totally alone. funny the way they do that.
