Today was actually a good day. A really really good day.
I'd sort of forgotten how that feels. The joy of a sunny day and a pleasant environment and the company of old friends.
Turns out I'd left more of my heart in Williamsburg than I thought; I was kinda taken aback by how utterly glad I was to be back... even if only for a few days! This feels like home. It feels right.
I know I can't move back. There's no jobs in Williamsburg for me, especially with how they've had to restructure and slim down recently. But it definitely re-affirms that I don't belong in the midwest, and I can't stay in the Chicago area for the long run. I don't know if I'll eventually end up on the east coast for good, or if California will be the answer. I know deep down it's going to be one of the two; I just have to be able to save up some money before I even think about another major move. It definitely won't happen in the next year, and might even take about five years before I pull up roots again, but it's def gonna happen.
Until then, I'm going to have to travel as often as I can, because being here is like feeling alive again...
