shadows

shit. victoria has finally stopped feeling like home. it's pretty nice. i used to love coming back here and feeling like i was supposed to be here, but in the last year i just got tired of the same faces, doing the same thing. when i was here in april it was the last time i felt at home, and that was because of the friends that were living here. now we've all gone our own way, and i come back into town and realize that there's noone for me to stay with, really, so i stay with friends of friends. it's great to feel i know this city well, to know some people here, but to be less than visible. i don't have to talk to people everywhere i go, i am in the shadows of this city again. great.

Wait until you've really been away a while and it starts changing on you. That's when things really start to feel strange. And if Victoria is no longer home... what then? What's next?
