Reality

Today, I was showing my Europe photo albums to two of my roommates' boyfriends: Holo and Hubert. Holo hadn't realized that I had travelled all around Europe this summer, but he did know that I quit and then un-quit my job in the past 2 days. When I brought out the photos, he said, "Oh that's why you quit your job! You've been backpacking all summer and you lost touch with reality." Hubert pointed at one of the photos on the page where I was especially glowing with uninhibited-traveller-glee and said, "No man, look at her face. She found reality."
