The picture above is the last picture the three of us ever had together as roommates. Once everyone was moved out of the Lehman House, that year--a bittersweet year, though more bitter at times than sweet--came to an end. And I was honestly saddened as I looked at their apartment with all their stuff boxed up inside, and they were excited to begin another year together, and then I drove an hour north back to my own place. I do miss Cincinnati. I miss the city and especially all the friends I have there: Rob and Mandy, Jessie and Tony, Amos, Jobst, etc. And I'll miss living with Amanda and Sarah. But I definitely think--no, I know--this is better for me.
I've always been the nostalgic kind of guy. Looking back into the past so much that I am blinded to the present, and the future then becomes skewed by the past. I am just hoping that this new chapter will bring some relief from the current of the last four-five years of my life. I'm hoping that things will start to change, that things will start to go my way. I hope the best for Amanda and Sarah, and I hope they have great times there. And I hope they miss me at least a little bit. I know I would!
