today a young man described me as "flighty".
he then proceeded to compare me to a leaf and a feather.
"whimsical," he said.
funny. that was the second time i had run into him at that coffee shop and both times i was preparing to head out the door.
but for someone i've only briefly met twice, he knows me quite well.
a close friend of mine gave me a charm bracelet with a golden feather. the packaging said the feather represents justice and freedom.
freedom.
i've been thinking lately. about family, about community, about myself as an independent being. another friend of mine asked me if i've been lonely. yes, of course, i've been feeling lonely. but i'm getting to know me more and more. and i feel free. free in the sense that i can choose to stay in a place or go as i please.
i want to be a wandering cloud. delicate, or?
