things have changed.

it's been six years since stevie died. about a year after he died, cassie killed herself.

emily got married. laura just dropped off the face of the earth. rumor has it that the school teacher got married too. i figured it was time for me to make a commitment to a life long companion. i went got myself a cat. i call her edie.

these are the small changes that eventually occur as time passes. fundamental change, real change, rarely happens. when it does, it's almost always imperceptible.

and yet, my life is the same. i work temp jobs, spend my money and time in coffeeshops and bars, and occasionally get mixed up in other people's lives. i miss stevie. that's new. he was the one person i could talk with and know i would not be judged. so now i talk to the cat. well, i suppose that's a change. probably not for the better.

i live a bit more comfortably. and i write. words, there are always words. there never seems to be enough of them.
