I'm on my way back to the city: posting journals via your cell phone, how different is this from high school? Loes got all horrified at the idea of me taking the bus back in, so I'm in the back of a taxi, watching the city come into focus, all of its sharp angles and bright lights. New York might not be the most amazing place in the world anymore--I'm not thirteen anymore--but it's home. Well, no. Home is where he is, but...we're about to build a life here, and coming back to the apartment, to get back to my life, it feels like I'm making progress to who we want to be when we grow up because, yeah, part of me is Logan's Future Wife, but I'm also Annie Spier, the Photographer. The grown up. No matter how frustrating things are, sharing our life with Trev, I know that Loes and I will end up okay; I need to work on the other part of me now. Figure out what to do with this awful job, try to make my mark, and if not...decide what's important to me, and what that means. If I stick it out longer, if I leave and try to find someplace else. If I have to go crawling back to Cam or to Stacey's stepmom asking for help finding a better gig. I want to do this on my own: I just...don't know what that means. I'll find it, though. I hope. That's why I'm back in New York, blown in like the breeze. The way that a spring wind feels new and full of change.
I complained in my last journal that this wasn't how I thought it was going to be, as a grown up. Maybe...I need to make that happen opposed to waiting for it to fall into place.
