Sweet.


It's been a week since I've been back.

In a way, it feels like nothing has changed. The apple orchards are still abound, the small town is still... well, small, the weather is expectantly cool and I've reconnected with those I never knew would stay.

But it's different, too. And flashbacks are the worst. I miss the old people - but then I meet the new ones, and then it's like discovering all over again.

So all in all, I can't really complain. I do love the north, the small town is lovely, I'm finally doing something meaningful with my life again - and I'm totally loving it... back in academia, learning, reading, debating, writing, researching... ahhhh it's a breath of fresh air.

Off to bed now.

I'm just a tad jealous. As time marches on I forget how it used to be just a mere three years ago, i guess almost four now. It is a more simple life that I crave more than I thought I would coming back to the city. Enjoy every moment, I know you are aware it won't be forever. I hope to visit you in your environment and slip it into that life like a comfy sweater.

I'd love to hear more of this old/new life of yours!
