The past few weeks + A farwell for now to Tampa


I am currently sitting in the Tampa airport with my father.

It is 1:21 pm. Our flight is not until 6:50, our attempt of getting on an earlier flight failed and now were sitting in the airport.

These past few weeks have contained a plethora of emotions:

some nights were great
some nights arduous
some filled with anxiety,
some filled with regret
some nights were drunk
some nights were empty
many nights contained dancing.
some nights filled with concepts and ideas
some nights contained confusion
all nights contained laughter


and most importantly,
Some nights contained triumph
and all nights contained friendship.

The people who I didn't want to see ever again resurfaced, and I reverted to being my old fashioned cynical self who told these people the things that they would never realize by themselves.

My words continue to be justified and I'll continue to stand by them.

Exams for the most part went OK, I'm pretty sure I did well for the most part.

Last night was a wonderful last night and final hurrah to kick off my 3-4 month absence from the city of Tampa.

Brittany, Kristen, and I all went to Czar, where we celebrated Brittany's conversion to real life the next day and her graduation as well as my last night. Congratulations Brittany, you will make us proud :)

It was nice to see my Czar regular friends, such as Michelle Housel, Black haired Michelle (sorry, I don't know your last name), Nolan, and George among many others.

In the end. Its just silly how things work out.

It's time to start detoxing from this state known as Florida.
I need to get on a normal and healthy sleep schedule.

These past two semesters have been filled with some of the most wonderful as well as the most terrible times in my life.

I am incredibly grateful for everyone who I have met, both who have impacted my life for better and for worse. Both sides of people from both emotional spectrum's will result in my transformation into the person I will continue to live my life as.

A series of letters:

To the closest of friends,
I love you all. Please remain the same for when I return, you are all the greatest people in the world and I cannot think of anyone better to spend my first year with. I must apologize for the weeks and nights where I was an emotional wreck, I apologize, I have a tendency to be dramatic. Please don't let the dance floor change without me, I'll be back soon enough. I'll miss you. Keep in touch.
With Love,
Max

To my enemies,
I hope you never learn to love, I hope you continue to swoon to an orchestra of cannons, bringing your wars and insecurities to the doorsteps of your lovers and families.
Lets see where these nights take you.
It's time to face yourself, and ask if your deserving of the pigmentation that your eyes hold.
I have so many things to say to certain people, as well as nothing to say to others.
One day, you will choke on your words and no one will bother to help you cough them up.
Sincerely,
Max

To the city of Tampa,
I need a break.
I need sleep.
I need to record.
I need to see my friends.
I need to focus on my creative endeavors.
I need to learn more.
I need to write.
I need to create.
I need to be more positive about more things.
I need to prove to everyone that certain concepts do exist, despite the cynical outlook that my generation has immersed itself within.

I love you, but promise me that you won't be completely immersed in salt water by the time I get back. I cannot tread water forever. But for now, I must save myself. Many wonderful and terrible nights have been spent with you, and you still continue to sing the same alluring songs that I'll continue to dance to. By the time I return, I will meet even more new people, and make even more friends than I have this year.
Even deep within in the District, I will still feel the urge to swoon to your swan songs.

Stay true to your decadent self,
Max

It's a miracle that I am able to function right now.

I'll see everyone in Tampa in 3-4 months!

Dear people of the District, I will be returning tonight!
