The past week I have spent with my brothers in Portland. Since I've gotten back to Utah, everyone keeps asking me "what did you do in Oregon?", which has been a complex question for me to answer. Of course, I did things and went places and saw things, but the focus of the entire trip was spending time with my brothers. The majority of my time was spent at their apartment watching television or reading a book-- just being in the same room as them was exquisite.
David and I had a lot of little chats late at night, talking about everything between puppies and mental health issues. We would drive around the city a lot. He'd show my the most beautiful roads and his favorite houses and stores in the area. We visited a forest in the area and took a short hike and sat on a bench in the middle of the forest for the better part of an hour in complete silence- just looking. It was moments like that I think I enjoyed the most. Simply existing together.
I'm back in Utah now, though, which is a total bummer. It's nice to be with my parents again, but I miss being with my brothers and especially miss not working. I am a bit of a free-loader, I have to admit... Anyways. So that was my trip to Oregon, sorry it's not jam-packed with action and excitement. It looks like my brothers and I are fairly chill together.
