i've been back in new york for about a week and a half now and it feels like so much longer. summer seems like the distant past and i think i'm ok with that. this summer was exactly what i hoped it would be. there were some rough points at the start, but over all i couldn't have asked for anything better. wedding in vermont. trips to new york. road trip across country. being with my friends all of the time. all unforgettable. this summer i learned who my friends are and who they will be for a really long time. it's a good feeling. knowing that no matter what i will always have certain people to count on and certain people to call in 30 years and know not much has changed. people to invite to a wedding. people to call to come visit my kids in the hospital. people to vacation with. people to retire with.
being back in the city is great. a lot different from last year as i am not living with all of my friends. yet, in a sense it's a kind of good feeling. i feel a lot more grown up. traveling across the city to visit people is exciting. so much is happening so fast and i have so much to look forward to. i don't miss people in the same way i did last year. things aren't scary anymore. i know how to handle myself.
i think coming here was one of the best decisions i've ever made. i get the best of both worlds. growing up and calling westford my home and now living in new york city. life seems pretty good.
