"At times, home is nowhere. At times, one knows only extreme estrangement and alienation. Then home is no longer just one place. It is locations. Home is that place which enables and promotes varied and ever-changing perspectives, a place where one discovers new ways of seeing reality." -bell hooks
i like that. a lot. i think i've been waiting for it. it's nice to find good quotes that do a better job of explaining how you feel than yourself.
i've become homesick for a place i haven't considered to be my home in over two years. i think it's because i subconsciously know that i'm about to move further away. and as much as i might try to pretend to be "above" or past dallas, i still love a lot of things about that city. and i guess i kind of love my family too. things have been going well in that department. it happens every few years. hah.
everyone from the law firm keeps asking me what i'm gonna do until i start graduate school. GO TO EUROPE! GO TO SOUTH AMERICA! GO TO ALASKA! they keep telling me. go live freely. use your credit card and worry about the costs later. you won't regret it! they keep saying.
is this all a big fucking joke?
