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 glad you're back, Vimie Joy.
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!
