staying longer
i wish i could stay longer, laugh harder, dance more. the night feels young yet i'm exhausted. and yet, i'm happy to be going back. home. leaving home to go home. what a difference these places are. i had one of the best thanksgivings ever. my family and i got along wonderfully. no aruging, no guiliting, no fighting. at all. i'm so relieved. this short trip was a great idea. i got to see some, but unfortunately not all, of my friends, i spent really amazing quality time with my family and even caught up with a lot of my aunts, uncles and cousins, and also got to end the week with some queereoke at the midway.
i can't believe i have to fly home tomorrow. i keep wishing for just two more days. two more days to finish the conversations i started. two more days to eat at the restaurants i miss so much. two more days to ride on the t. two more days to spend with my sister.
but it's okay. i'm going back to what i started, what i'm doing well at, what makes me happy right now. i'm working on some things that are helping me grow in important ways. i'm going back to a warm bed, a cozy girl, and two wonderful cats, and a job that i enjoy mostly.
