I went to help my friend out at his store for a few hours and had some good talks, especially after many years. Around 7PM, I ended up going to my cousin's place for some drinks (meaning, one beer) and more great and hilarious talks. As unsupportive as my parents can get many times, my cousin's always have my back. I find that she, her husband, and brother-in-law really look out for the best of me and will stand behind me with a lot of my struggles. Dinner at KC Pit BBQ, which is a fairly "upscale" joint. Not really expensive at all, but they serve the food in an upscale manner.
I didn't get to see fireworks tonight, but I did run into my friend Davis, who drove down from North Carolina for the weekend. One of my old mentors and a close family friend. Ended up talking for a good 2 hours standing outside of Taco Mac.
It's such a blessing to see SO many old faces visiting Atlanta over the past few days and even in the next few weeks. I'm finding so much joy just talking and catching up with everyone.
.. and on another random note, I'm determined to find a job and move out of my house after school. I'll be calling Athens my home from now on until graduation. Hopefully by then, I'll be able to support myself and find a place to call my own.
