SLO- It's not you it's me

I used to live in down town slo and i loved it, parts of it. I loved running into people I knew all the time. I loved the character  and the little spots. Slo is changing, lots of construction, a shift away from small business. That's all ok change happens. The people I knew are gone or it's been so long since I've seen them that they wouldn't know me. I am a change person. I am devoted to learning and improving. the punishment for this is that people dont know when you've changed so they talk to the old person. You have to decide to either act like the old person or not. It's not really that sol is that different as much as I am. I am so disinterested in the things that drew me to slo after dark. It all seems a bit ridiculous now. 
Last night I went to see Gregory Allan Isikov , a show that I saw a few years ago. It was a full house, the opening band was amazing. I saw some people I knew. He was great and all I could think is ....is this over yet so I can get out of here. I wanted to go home, I wanted to rest after a long week where my brain is now running double time and I don't have the sleep margin to spare. I left early and was glad I did. 
I'm not the same. I keep learning, changing, growing and the old falls away.
