thanksgiving

This time last year...well, everything wasn't fine, especially in academic terms, but at least I had a boyfriend of two years and we were progressing nicely. He invited me to come to his uncle's house in Seattle for Thanksgiving, which thrilled me to no end. I mean, going to meet relatives, staying with them for holidays - that's what you do in SERIOUS relationships! All was going well!

I really liked his family...and his uncle & aunt have a GORGEOUS house. It felt very nice & official to be introduced to everyone as 'the girlfriend' and whatnot.

Well, now it's a year later, and the two of us broke up in May. There were good reasons for ending it, though it tore me up at the time, obviously.

Now, almost six months later, I'm pretty much over it...except for stupid things like remembering last Thanksgiving and just how...perfect everything felt. Also there's this theme park that my dad's work gives every family in the company tickets to around the holidays, and I haven't been there since last time...when he came with us...

We're still good friends, and I see him all the time, and things aren't even that awkward, really. I guess I just miss the sense of knowing where I belong.
