California dreamin'
i had a great weekend... i hope all of u did too. I'll write about my weekend later on.. right now i have more important things on my mind... my best friend.
Mala went to cali on an all expense paid trip(i'm green with envy... or am i purple?? i don't really like green). she had a good time. I got a little worried when she didn't come back as scheduled, though. She's a very impulsive person and my first reaction was.. oh no.. she's not coming back. i guess that also had to do with how her sister told me she didn't come back... "she never came home and didn't call to tell us when she was coming". but she did come home. a day late but on cloud 9. and i was the first person she called...
when she first told me about her trip i knew she would fall in love with the west coast... much like i fell in love with san fran when i went earlier this year (my trip was also free... que suerte que tenemos). i knew that just like me she would start debating if the west coast wasn't a better option than the great but sometimes exhausting NYC life. NY is great but sometimes u just get tired. and i also knew that unlike me... she probably would move. she has the guts and the coraje to do it... and it's happening.
there are many factors that are holding her back. her family... which although they help her when they want hasn't really supported her decisions in life(career choices or personal choices). can she get a job there? of course. she's a brilliant chica. so that's a non issue in my book. her daughter... a super well adjusted child that will be able to blossom in any setting... as long as she has the support and love of her mother.. which she has. and she says all she has over there is el cubano... isn't that enough? he makes her feel good and safe. i havn't heard her say these things in well... ever. she's happy i can hear the smile on her face when i talk to her on the phone.
do i want her to go?? the week she was gone i missed her like crazy. checking every day if she had blogged or written me an email. calling like crazy they day she was due back home. and when i heard her voice friday night i felt relief... she's finally back...
but i want her to go. well at least i think she should go. she has a chance of doing something that will make her happy. maybe what she needs is a change of scene. to do something for her and her daughter. and if it doesn't work out??? well then she can always come back home.. because no matter where she is and how long she stays away.. NYC will always be her home. and her family and friends will always be here for her. so why not?? do it... be hapy... and cigarettes are so much cheaper in cali...
we'll always be friends. we havn't always been in the same state in the 14yrs we've been best girls. but just like NYC is home... we always come back... i'm home to her.. and she's home to me. i'll miss her and her daughter more than i care to imagine right now. but knowing that she's happy and well more than makes up for it.
so go mami... be happy. it's ur turn. finally.
