LIFE IS A BADASS

Hey life, thanks for being such a badass.

Only five more days of ship life! Four months has flown by, and yet I feel so different. Maybe it's because I discovered compression bags, or because I have a new appreciation for pirates. Maybe it's because I don't carry a purse anymore, and I've spent more time in a swimsuit in the past four months than I have in 10 years. Maybe it's because I have learned a ton of new improv games, learned some new skills for teaching kids, and gotten over my fear of intros. Or maybe it's because I had a crush on a 20-year old and it made me feel old and gross and young and hot at the same time. Maybe it's because I saw a whale back and a bunch of dolphins. Maybe it's because my moles LOVED the sun and decided to grow.....WHO KNOWS!

All I know is that I'm different. And different feels good on me.

Goodbye free rent!

Goodbye free food!

Goodbye to my lovely and talented new friends. I'm gonna miss laughing at those dbags.

Goodbye to the best job I've ever had. I'm know how many people want these jobs, and how many insanely talented people have to pass them up because of the time committment. I am thankful that everything worked out, and I know how lucky I am that it did.

Real life is looming...and it's scary. In the next few weeks, I'm gonna be staying in four cities, participating in three festivals (Boston-Denver-LA), and doing the apartment/job hunt. It's exciting and scary, and I can't wait until it's all over so I will have a chance to process the past four months.

So life- thanks for being such a serious badass. And next time I lose this perspective, you are welcome to punch me in the mouth.
