Our Apartment

IMG_9097.JPG

Walls and wood, steel and screws…

Not our first apartment, but one we chose together.

From here, we would do battle with the City of Angels.

We weren’t seeking to conquer and erect kingdoms.

A pursuit was before us.

We were meant to build a life together.

The scars from the battle were almost immediate.

Exit wounds never cleaned.

Los Angeles wasn’t equal in her gifts.

The castle was partially abandoned.

A night passed and the brave one was gone.

The quest was a solo adventure now.

Just an apartment in North Hollywood.

Just mine.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Nathan Box
Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
