I'm Home. Do With That As You Will.
After being on the MIA list for about 2 days, I've realized I can't disappear as easily these days.
Once upon a time, I was quite well known for my gypsy excursions. I remember once I drove to Memphis after a bar shift in Tampa. Not really a particular reason, just on a whim and had a place to visit, so I went.
I don’t think I’ve ever really had anyone to worry about where I actually am, so I just sort of fly around by the seat of my pants.
Imagine my surprise when people worried. Yes, about me.
I’m not really the type of chic that people worry about. Unless you mean to worry about whether or not I’m going to end up kicking someone’s ass if they startle me somewhere in the dark. Really, I just don’t fear shit that way.
I lived in Detroit alone, Atlanta once solo, made it down to 2 different keys to see what sort of shit I could get myself into. All over Tampa, North Florida, where I want to go, I go. Usually, I don’t even have a reason, I just think it sounds nice one day, so I go. I like that about myself. The fact that I’m not afraid to just get out and find my own trail to blaze. It’s given me some of my most well-known stories. It got me out of a small-town mindset. It has introduced me to some of the best people in some of the worst places.
I guess I just don’t think to tell anyone I’m headed out for a while, be back soon, send you a postcard. I’m not sure how to even go about doing so. Do I do it in writing? Will text suffice? How about an email, business professional or is casual everyday alright?
I’m not afraid to be somewhere else tomorrow, and I think it just doesn’t dawn on me to wonder if anyone is going to wonder where I am. It’s a strange world, folks, I have become a person who has people who worry. I don’t really know what to think about that.
Text is fine, just use the ‘safe word’ - Louboutin’s in it so we know it’s you and you’re not texting against your will ;)
I don't care how you feel about it. Just send up a ducking smoke signal, would ya?
