A Little Lonesome

2024-07-11 “A Little Lonesome” by Emma

I ain’t trying to be pitiful or noth… or anything, but I worked almost all day apart from Jenn and Merritt. Now James King is plenty nice, but I’m just now getting to know him. 

So, being on this beach all day doing this and that while Jenn and Merritt did other things, I just sort of looked around at all the people and realized I only really know two of ‘em and the names of a few more.

Now, I gotta say some folks reading my Instagram stories are really nice, and are starting feel like I know ‘em, a little. All the same…

So, when all the work I could do was done, I waded out in the waves a little bit and sat down. The water washed over me and it was really nice. But, I was still by myself.

I got to thinking, if I’m going to make it in 2024, I need to be sure I stick with Jenn and Merritt, and see about making some friends along the way. I’ll need to find a job I can do, but I don’t know what that would be. I’m learning as I go, but today, I needed a lot of help with things I think ought to have been common to most people.

Well, I guess these aren’t very happy thoughts, and I got to say that there’s a lot of happy going on here in Miami. All them volunteers working on all the houses… they’re sure making some people happy!

And what I hear about the rest of the weekend, there will be a lot of music and fun things, so I guess that will all be happy, too.

I just don’t want to take it all in alone. I’ll see if I can stay with Merritt more, and Jenn, too. We’re gonna go to New York and live together, but I guess right now, I just feel better when I’m with ‘em.

Now, I’m gonna go back to the condo, which is the name of the kind of place I’m staying in, but I guess most of you knew what it was. I’m regretting not listening to Jenn when she said buy more than one bikini. I didn’t think I’d want to wear it, but here I am, and I guess I’ll warsh it in the bathtub and hang it to dry, but then it’s meant to be worn in the water, so I guess it don’t have to be ‘xactly dry.

Thanks for reading my story, and goodnight.
