I’ve Found My Rent
A few years ago, I was watching the movie Rent and a line from the movie hit me hard:
“I can’t believe he’s gone
I can’t believe you’re going
I can’t believe this family must die
Angel helped us believe in love
I can’t believe you disagree
I can’t believe this is …Goodbye”
In all the places I’ve ever lived, and of all the places and times, I’ve never felt like I’ve had the kind of family that is portrayed in Rent. It’s not a family of genetics, but a chosen family. A family of friends, that makes your life better, stronger, fuller and ok, in my world…more perverted. :p
Right now they’re talking about the origins of the word asshat (see also asshelmet) while watching the Rent extra DVD.
I really need to find a job soon. I don’t want to move away from this. It feels like home.
I’m grateful.
