Is it sick and sad that I occasionally entertain thoughts...
of moving back to Arizona?
Granted, I realize it's partly a desire to capture what used to be.
But, as it's said, "You can't go home again. "
And AZ was home for quite a while. The longest I'd spent anywhere (well, until moving to TN) though for some reason Arizona still feels more like "home" than Tennessee.
I think it may be due to the people left behind.
But, again, this finds itself in the "going home again" motif.
Nothing is as you left it. Not places. Not things. Not friends nor friendships.
Though sometimes, they're better. They improve with the passing of time.
You just have to be willing to take the risk.
But who am I kidding?
It'll still be a while before I can get out of TN.
...But I'm really starting to feel an itch. I've been here since December of '02. Long time to be in one place.
I can feel a certain restlessness starting.
I just hope it doesn't lead to the kind of depressive funk I had before I left Arizona. (Due to a horrendous combination of being in one place for near seven years and having way-way-way too much sunlight in those seven years. So, yeah, even if I did move back to AZ--Phoenix, I'd only be able to stay a couple of years, I think, before the sunlight did me in.)
