a phoenix from the ashes

i had to call the cops last night on this couple that was fighting in front of my house. the guy was shoving the girl into a fence and they were yelling and screaming at each other. as far as i could tell (and i hope this is true), they were breaking up.

within a matter of about 45 seconds, while i was still on the phone with the 911 operator, two cop cars came screaming down the road. it's amazing that we live in a country where we can call the police, and actually have them come to our aide.

i'm still a little shaken up by the whole thing, i guess. i don't really know what is wrong with me today, but i feel gripped with anxiety and i just want to cry. instead, i think i'll get on a plane with 4 of my best friends and fly to warmer climates. adios!
