The moon.

I love this song so much that this afternoon I arranged it for piano. It's contemplative, lyrical, and just so resonatingly true that since rediscovering it I listen all the time. I've spent every summer since my mid-teens away from my family and friends, and I'm leaving in just two weeks to do it again. I've left my home to live in the Philippines, Europe, the Middle East, and now the East Coast (as an all-Western girl, it's almost as foreign!). My experiences get progressively more adult; this year, I'll turn twenty(!) and hold an apartment in Boston and a job as a research scientist.

It's nice to get away, but I don't want to live on the moon.
