Quick entry before I walk to work

It's completely and utterly strange to finally feel at home somewhere. All of my life when I was growing up in Florida I felt out of place, like I should be somewhere else. I would dream of moving far away and starting a new life. Everything seemed different and better. Most of the time my mind wandered to this. I just wanted to get away.
After basically 16 years of wanting to get away, now that I am here, I no longer feel it. I'm proud of where I live and my community. I have absolutely no desire to move anywhere else. I don't want to leave. Yes, I'll visit other places, but I'll never want to be away from my home for too long.

I'm even leaving half an hour earlier than I normally would today to stop by Easy Street Records. I love it here and wish everyone I love lived here with me so we could all enjoy it and be happy together. No one deserves the punishment and torture of living in Florida.
