Slowly the soft colors ease me back into a mindset of contentment. I can no longer remember if I was running away or running to something. I've painted over the canvas of reason so many times that all I'm left with is a muddy paste of indecision. But of one thing, I am sure. Home is and always will be home.
I came here and laughed. Colorful Colorado.
I came here and declared it was not nearly as beautiful as Arizona.
But Arizona is the current firey fling, and Colorado is the old one true love.
The one you return to and find yourself so comfortable with again.
But I'm not just comfortable.
I'm happy. I have a fantastic job and a fantastic family here. And everyday I get to drive through one hell of a beautiful place.
You just can't understand Colorado's lure til you've been here for a while.
It's not a place you travel to and visit. It's a place you move to and stay.
I can't help but worry that it will hurt ten times more the second time leaving.
It's funny, in a way, all the things I'm trying for right now, I hope don't happen.
I don't need another reason.
I have too many already.
