where the heart is
I am (finally) back in Pittsburgh for a week. A little bittersweet, though, as I would have liked to have Rob come along with me. Alas, it couldn't happen this time. But I'm here - working at the store, celebrating a mini-Christmas, visiting friends, and spreading my Florida cheer across the city. (And apparently, I brought the Florida weather with me. 60 degrees in December? Seriously?)
I love being here. Though I wish my mom wouldn't try to talk me out of going to medical school. You'd think a mother wouldn't talk her child out of wanting to be a doctor, but I guess my family is just a special case. It's okay though. It ultimately just makes me more determined to follow the path that I want. This is why I moved out in the first place. Because I wanted to make my own decisions and not be judged for every single one that wasn't fully agreed upon by everyone in my life. And I told my mom today that cutting me off when I made the decision to move to Florida was the best thing my parents ever did for me. I've grown so much now that I'm no longer their dependent. I just wish that she didn't still feel the need to share her every opinion on my life.
Despite all of this, I really am happy to be here. There's just something about going home that feels so right. So comfortable. No matter what is going wrong in my life, I always feel safe and happy here. Nothing compares to that.
