Answer by Brian S
Oh! I thought you said Montenegro! No! I wouldn’t go Jamaica at all, especially with children! Jamaicans are crazy, and will beat you up and rob you! You can’t even be safe in the resorts anymore, because Jamaicans don’t like tourists using their beaches! Just stay away from Jamaica! But if you still wanna go to the Caribbean with kids, I would recomend Puerto Rico or St. John!

tonight is one of those nights – a practically full moon, and not a cloud in the sky. i can see eight million stars, and the shadows on the ground are almost as hard as the iced-over snow under my feet. i can see everything like it’s daytime, but it’s all tainted blue.
i spent the evening with pete. i texted him to come play pool after dinner, and he agreed. we’ve become as comfortable as we used to be when we were kids, i think. he hung out in my room at the end of the night, a place that i don’t really invite people. even i don’t feel very comfortable in my room. there i go, talking about the past again.
i’ve gotten a surprising amount of "when are you coming to california"-s lately. it never occurs to me, no matter who says it, or how often, that someone could miss me. it’s just not something i ever think about. but my friend teri sent me a private message tonight, and what she wrote to me about is something i need to think about. teri, for the record, was one of my first californian friends, and someone i would trust with any intimate detail. we’ve disagreed before, but only about work-related things, because we’re both sure of ourselves. but i trust her insight, because she gets me. so, i’m inviting you to think about all this with me, as i type.
she wrote that she feels like there’s a deep sadness in me right now. that’s almost verbatim, actually, and she’s right. there is. the things i’ve been doing – working, girls, old friends – they’re unintentionally meant as distractions, so i could pretend for a night that i’m not. that’s true, and i haven’t admitted it until right now.
the first thing she wrote that really struck a chord with me was when she wrote that she thinks i’m waiting for something to happen here, and she thinks it probably won’t. i am. i don’t know what, and that’s kind of the point. what am i waiting for? i’m the one who told myself that nothing would be handed to me, and i had to forge my own future. i’ve gone to drastic measures to do so before, but right now, and the past few weeks, i’ve been waiting. for what? if i can’t even tell you what i’m waiting for, then it sure as hell isn’t gonna happen, and i sure as hell can’t make it happen.
am i waiting for money? i have 4000 dollars in my bank account, and i haven’t lost much since i moved from boston. i owe the loan companies a bunch, and haven’t told them i’d like a deferment. am i waiting to make more? how much? how much do i need? i don’t know, so i can’t imagine i’m waiting for more money if i don’t have some monetary goal in mind.
am i trying to prove to myself i can make it anywhere? that might be. but what does it matter? home, this place, is not like any other place on earth. i’m a child here, and i don’t think that’ll change, no matter what improvements i make, no matter how hard i try. if it’s not worth it to try to change that, why try so hard, when i can move somewhere else, easily, and have things be the way i want?
teri suggested that it might a fear of letting go of security. and that makes sense. but part of me wants to let go of security, too. i recognize that the best things i’ve ever done were when i pulled the rug out from beneath my own feet.
i have been talking about the past a lot, and i’ve been replaying nostalgia in my mind. looking up old friends, recalling old times. and if i were honest with myself, i think i’d admit that i was wishing for those old times back. where i was busy all the time, had a lot of options, and felt loved here.
oh.
wait, that’s the thing. that’s it, i just got it, by typing it out. i’m waiting here, hoping that if i stick around, i’ll find love. maybe my dad will learn to love me. or my sister, even if she’s not here. or i’ll find some friends that love me here. i used to have friends here that loved me. i felt loved in california. i even felt loved in boston. hell, i even felt a little loved, at least, by one or two friends, in portland. and i’m sure that if casey or my dad read this, they’d think me a spoiled brat for saying i don’t feel loved here at home, but the truth is that, a very long time ago, i at least had friends and girls who loved me here, and that made up for feeling like my family hated my guts. but now, right now, i don’t feel it from any direction. and i think i’m hoping that if i stay for one more minute, i’ll find it, and can close that book. fuck, that’s insane. i don’t want it any less, realizing this, but i know it’s not coming. if i were to feel any love here, it would be overtaken as soon as i walked back inside my house, because the next morning i’d be talking to my dad, and thinking again that he isn’t proud of me, wishes i was out of his hair, and expects me to fail. i want to find a love to make up for that. i want to find it, and run away with it. i want to find someone that makes me feel loved, and take them with me to california.
that’s really intense. i don’t know what to do with that. i kind of can’t believe i’m writing all this. i think that’s enough for tonight.
