Jonathan

Written By Nathan Box

A year remained for me.  

LA found me backed into a corner.  

Picking my attitude would free me from my room.  

I needed a friend.  

 

One was delivered when I least expected it.  

Like a gift left on my doorstep.  

Life is defined by moments such as these.  

 

Jonathan made Los Angeles feel special.  

He made it feel like home.  

It became a place I didn’t want to leave.  

 

The laughs were long.  

The conversations deep.  

How I miss them.  

 

In a moment of reflection, I long for LA.  

I long for the friends made there.  

None more than Jonathan.  

He made me long for LA.  

 

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.
