"I've been thinking a lot about universes. Alternate realities and lives I could've lived.
To have a life in a small town where I work hard and play harder, not thinking about work the minute I clock out. A place where I do yoga in a wood paneled, 70s shag carpet living room and thrift for all my furniture, see my friends bands play and watch Sam do open mic nights.
Or alternately, a life where I live in a tall building in New York. A reasonable flat still, but I'm often too caught up in work and blogging to evaluate my feelings or belly laugh with friends.
But then, I love my reality. Where I get work done and meditate, watch tv with Sam and skim the pool while the water flickers and glitters from the shadows, moving as the leaves blow in the wind.
I wonder if any of my alternate selves imagines this life with a tinge of jealousy - one with simplicity and solace.
Today was a hot day; but a good one."
