the gut wrenching twist

you all know what i'm talking about. it's that feeling in the pit of your stomach that does this...thing whenever you think about someone, something, or someplace. this twist, as i like to call it, is either in your gut or in your heart, but i think both are the same thing.

the feeling usually occurs whenever i think of the way things used to be or if i think about certain people, but at this moment it's because of italy.

specifically the show "floyd in italy." i've never watched the show before, but i was just flipping through the channels and BAM. siena.

siena.

i automatically think of kenny and lauren and how they made fun of me for lipsyncing on the bus. i think of eating at that not-so-great chinese place and then shopping for underwear for two hours while the guys sat outside. i think of the fieldtrip i took with the class and how i was frantically searching for cinnamon gelato (yet never finding it), running into lauren's parents (what are the odds?), and nearly crying when i walked into the most beautiful duomo in italy (even better than the vatican).








i wish this particular gut wrenching twist had been caused by something else. i haven't had one due to italy in a while, so it kind of came as a jolt to me.
