A Date

We ventured bravely into the night.  

Our new home was demanding escape.  

 

Sitting in a restaurant bathed in florescent light,  

We began to heal from the trauma of change.  

Healing felt like an undercurrent.  

 

Fried chicken before us, these walls felt like a therapist’s office.  

Courageous conversations began to unwrap themselves.  

 

Normal doesn’t come easy in a place so new.  

Yet, it was a drug worth chasing.  

On a starless night in one of LA’s suburbs, we came close.  

 

Walking back toward our car, a bar seemed like the next logical choice.  

The turmoil of moving was beginning to subside.  

 

Be good to each other,  

Nathan

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.
