chicago i love you
I haven't written in my LiveJournal in so long. The interface is different. I feel out of place. I sometimes wonder if I should stop with LiveJournal and just have it be a thing of the past? I don't know. I like having a place to write my musing and thoughts. I guess I haven't given myself enough me time to do so.
So last week I had my first vacation in a long time, almost 6 months. Six months ago, I was breaking up with my first true love. Six months ago, I was visiting home and celebrating my 23rd birthday. Since then it's been go, go, go at work and outside the office, and I didn't go on vacation. I took a couple days off to go to concerts, party, and network, but I didn't leave the city so I was long overdue for a vacation. Being in the concrete jungle for too long can make you lose your mind.
Chicago was amazing. It was a much needed vacation, but above all, it reminded me of all the things I live for and all the things have to look forward to. Danya, Benny, and Helen were so thoughtful. They really made it the best vacation ever. It's incredible. I've never actually lived in the same city as any of them, yet I'm closer to them that some people I see on a regular basis. They planned out my entire trip, and it was perfect - a little sight seeing and Chicago storytelling, vintage shopping, boutique shopping, food, food, and more food, art galleries, and of course, dancing! I met some DJs and new friends via DJ connections.
Damn, I love Chicago. Yes, I was on vacation, but Chicago is like New York on a Sunday. It has almost everything New York has to offer, but is friendly, relaxed, and clean! Haha. If it wasn't so cold, I'm pretty sure I'd move there.
