To be entirely honest, I've lied about every interesting 'event' that's ever happened in my life. If I were honest, my life would be a wreck. I'm not honest, so that I do not collapse. Honesty, like most virtues, is over-rated.
It's funny what you notice about people as you become closer to someone new to your life - and what you notice whilst drifting from who you were supposed to be close to all along. I never realized that I'd made my own family, until I noticed who was there when shit went down.
A lot of roads have closed for me lately. On coming home from Tennessee, a rock slide closed the mountain road that was most direct. For that, my girlfriend and I sat in traffic for the next few hours. At home, more were closing for my parents - future divorcees, as they seem to be. A lot of roads are closing, but they treat me more like an adult everyday that they sink into acting more like children.
