its still surreal that i'm actually coming home. i feel like it really is a vacation, because i'm headed somewhere i'm no longer familiar with. seeing people i'm no longer familiar with. what if everything is awkward and different? will we still keep in touch?
a small sample of the music i've been listening to lately would immediately clue you in to how i feel.
kings of leon - nostalgic
mumford & sons - companion-less
lupe fiasco - untouchable (lasers for album of the year?)
random techno mix - energetic
again, thats a small sample. attempting to describe the ocean of emotions and desires that swirl in my head is too complex.
my daily routine hasn't deviated much since moving to memphis. i go to the gym more often, and i'm slowly connecting more with my coworkers. but i sense that i will never have the same connections that i had when i was young. the friends i had in highschool feel like distant acquaintances these days.
memphis is my home now, and michigan is my getaway.
more than excited to see you come back. and when did you ever think you'd say that michigan was where you would want to go, let alone for it to be your get away.
ReplyDeletei think everyone has that period in life when you're between the life you had with your parents and the life you will someday have with your own family.... a lot of times it's a lonely place to be. but you still have a lot of people who love you here, and you will have a new group down there someday too. the longer you're there the more you'll settle in. just make an effort to meet people, like at the gym or wherever. start going to places that play local music (I know you're not 21 but there has to be SOMEWHERE, lol) and hit on some chicks, haha. don't let yourself become one of the lonely people.
