hot child in the city

I really have begun to love this city. Even though I work and go to school constantly, living far away from the Tenderloin, has made my appreciation of San Francisco magnify.

At first it was lame, because I knew no one except Alex, and we were in the scariest neighborhood I've ever seen, but that's all changed now. I still don't know that many people, and even though I don't live in the TL, I certainly walk through it a couple of time a week. But I'm pretty happy here. I like that now I can go and see lectures for all sorts of literary types that I have never heard of. And, I like that I can walk or take the bus ANYWHERE. I'm not a huge fan of the weather, but I can come to terms with that too. I like my life right now. It's odd to say that. I always look back at certain times and my life and think, man I was happy then, but I never think about the fact that I'm happy when I'm happy. It's nice actually. Not too shabby at all.

I was really afraid to live so far away from everyone, and the first 6 months I was here were horrible. But, I'm glad to know that I'm capable of moving like this. It's nice to know what you can do sometimes.
