to be back

"It's always nice to come back to a place, it's the hardest to remain" a wise friend told me. It's true, it's nice to up and leave and come back, reminding yourself of all you missed while you were gone. It is staying, it is remaining, it is dealing that is the toughest of all. 

But right now, I do miss home. Perhaps it is the apartment that I'm not used to having all to myself, or the city that is not the same with the people I love that usually fill it being gone. I miss living 2 blocks away from my best friends. And my puppies that bark too loud and too early. I miss my car, oh how convenient having a car was although the idea of driving kind of scared me a lot. What happened? I used to love walking everywhere...now Shattuck seems too far. But I signed up for RSF membership! Finally. Lets see if I can really put these $10 to good use...

While I was home I met up with an old childhood friend. We both kind of suck at keeping in touch and arranging to meet up, but we finally did. It was probably the first time we met up alone in about 3 years. And we were back to the way we were, laughing at ourselves and making fun of each other's habits both good and bad. Funny how those things don't really change. The last thing she said to me before I left was "오랫만에 만났는데 하나도 어색하지 않아서 너무 좋다" it made me smile. It's funny how childhood friends can do that to you...I smiled because I was thankful, I don't have many friends like that. But she's one of them.
