Georgia always told me that I should come back to Baldwin. And I've always shot that notion down without hesitation. I didn't even really need to think about it. I just know that I don't belong there. It's another world, one that I'm not from and never really wish to return to. Being here in Staunton is nice, and I can consider it a second home. Nothing more.
My true home will always be NoVA. It's been over a year and still I slip up. Generally when I say the words "My friends..." in a sentence, it's about the NoVA/Tristate area crew. You guys are my crew, we are so rock solid and we care so much for each other and want to be a part of each others lives that it makes me cry. I am that happy.
I was always so fatalistic about my move to Staunton. It's funny that I as I accepted the fact that I could never return to NoVA, that there is a way for me to return. It was staring me in the face all this time but I never saw it, because I wasn't fighting my own thoughts. I defeated myself. I should have never looked to MBC, I should have looked to GMU. Honestly the thought never crossed my mind till it was brought to my attention.
I don't belong here and Maram is right, there isn't really much to hold me back. The only reasons I have for staying would be Jessi and Will. And I know that they would want me to go. I will always come visit my parents, Jessi and Will.
I know that I just got my bike in September and still have a long way to go on paying it off, etc... But I would gladly give it back to the bank if that meant I could go to GMU. I'm sure we could work something out, because if I had to choose one or the other? There's just no comparison. You guys are family.
My dad's concerns are money, and not overloading myself with studies, so I don't burn out like I have in the past..
Georgia asked me once where my ambition went, and I never answered. I know where it's going now, God willing.
I should be able to get a job at Starland as an AM, Chris is always saying this every time I visit.
I am loved, and they all know where I belong, I should have just listened to you all.
I'm thinking I could use some of this for my essay, if not then I'm just clueless.
