Last weekend, Jeremy and I decided to relax a little and have a picnic on Ward's Island. We walked across the bridge behind my apartment and set up the cutest little lunch. Seriously, it was adorable. This was the first time I had taken Jeremy here since he was teaching abroad in Turkey when I discovered it. Over the past year, Ward's Island was usually the place I escaped to when I wasn't feeling my best or if I just needed time to be alone and get away from the hectic sounds of the city. I would climb down the edge of the island and spend time sketching in my journal on the rocks (which are now completely underwater thanks to the tide rising).

But now, I don't ever feel so alone. I've come to embrace the city in all its craziness and, perhaps, I've become a little crazy too. Guess I fit right in now.
