Dealing with loss
It has only been in the past two days that I have really begun to think about my future outside of Seattle. I would say that most of my identity was formed here - my life has changed so much since I decided to come here almost two years ago to be with Trida. When I think about my future three thousand miles from here, without Trida, I really begin to understand that it would be the end of a major journey for me, concluding in what could only be interpreted as a failure.
