Sitting in Sweetwaters cafe

I like the name. Sweetwaters. It's a chic looking brick walled warmly lit coffee shop in Ann Arbor. As sweet as the name of the town, as slick i think is the name of the coffee shop. Sitting and wondering about life in between preparing for an exam. Basically reading and dreaming, and therefore not registering anything. My friend has declared me failing the exam. So i might as well spend time updating my blog.
Sitting around and wondering about life's intricacies as they surround me. I look back and i really haven't changed much. Quintessentially I am quite the same girl I was in college. But so much has changed on the forefront.
It is sad to think about heartbreaks, relationships that are long left behind in the matter of context and time but yet so fresh in my memory, the simple things that make life so beautiful, the genuinely happy moments, the friendships that have stood the test of time and grits of realizations, places around the world I have been to in the last 8 years, so many things have changed and yet not changed. Yet not really changed about me. Sad to an extend, good to an extend.
Sitting around, looking at people. Each face, a different story. Each coffee table, a different vibe. So many young kids in this university town and a realization that they are just starting out in life. Some old couples. Some middle aged folks. Interesting to see so many stories, personalities, literally looking a different story. And in the middle of all this, my life and my story. Just sitting and thinking in a coffee shop on a Friday night , with a book, a laptop , a phone, a cup of coffee and hundreds of thoughts that fill me up.
