A month goes by
til days are filled
with friends
who lean their heads
on you
and you
grab hands
and squeeze
A month goes by
til mouths are filled
with laughter
vibrant
and
voracious
bursting
A month goes by
til you lie back
and stare at the split
in the ceiling
and then you say
home
and mean it
as the smiles
are passed round
for the stealing.
Little update: college has kept me fairly busy, and when I've not been occupied my energy is always focused on friends. lol. So. Many. People. To. Smile. At. Ahhhhhhhgghhgghgh. I miss you all, my writing family. I come on and read up and check and I WILL comment soon. It's wonderful just to know you're all here. <3

Glad you're enjoying college
Glad you're enjoying college life! I've missed you here. I think I'm going to cut back to posting every two weeks...it makes me ad when I only see my own posts.
I don’t thrive off of chaos: chaos thrives off of me.

-- loved that part.
And, Damaris, I'll be shouldering some of the posting weight soon, too, don't worry!
Have missed you, Homey!

Lovely. College really fills up your time--I don't think I've posted in a couple months myself. I'm glad you're having fun!

I like this! Thank you for
I like this! Thank you for writing and posting! I love how this can be understood by people not even in college, but even in a new place, like Kyleigh was. I love the progression - the last where you say "home". And then the beginning -- friends who put their head on your shoulder -- yes.

Love this Homie :)
Love this Homie :) I am so glad you found your "home" at college! It is a wonderful feeling when college starts to feel like home, with new friends and old ones to make up your extended "family"! My favorite part is:

I love this. We've been in Japan a year now and I keep thinking back to the first months and then the community we have grown since then.
