Insomnia; One year ago today I stayed up all night.

I can't sleep. I don't know why.

One year ago at this time, I was awake too. My bus from Boston dropped me in Chinatown just after midnight, and I didn't have to be at JFK airport until 6 AM. I figured that made it pointless to go stay with anyone, so I resolved to spend the six hours wandering the city. But having just woken up, it was seriously cold outside.

When I ended up the J train to the airport, I had no idea I was riding through what would be my home six months later.



I was checked in and through security before sunrise, which I watched from my gate.
