Northerner by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God
I'm Southern. I don't know when it happened. I think it may have happened in college. At some point when I just started assuming things. There would be plans on fall Saturday mornings, there was nothing wrong with having lemonade mixed with Jack Daniels on a summer afternoon, and I should definitely ask the cashier at kroger how her day was. Guns became the thing my boyfriend had in the house for hunting or protection, not the thing someone carried to school with them in case a drug deal went bad. I thought I would always love the big city. When I was 18 my fondest dream was to become Carrie Bradshaw before there WAS Carrie Bradshaw. I wanted a glamorous life in NYC or London, or maybe Paris or Buenos Aires.
Well London was pretty cool, BUT I find that now perhaps I want my outer world to reflect my inner world. My search for inner peace leads me to a desire for environmental peace as well. I want a house and a yard of my own. I want trees! I like to go on hikes, and walks, I might even take up bike riding again. (After I get a car) Lately, I have been yearning for land like I'm Scarlett O'Hara trying to make her way back to Tara.
I think this is another reason I enjoy and miss Nashville. And also I think why many celebrities like Nashville as well. I have all of the things I love about big cities, and very few of the things I don't. So I think when I get back to Nashville, I'm going to try to join an organization that works on maintaining the beauty and nature of the city. Unless we work together, and help other people in the community things won't remain the same. Poverty and crime exist in Nashville just like anywhere else. We need to work to shrink those problems and improve the quality of life for everyone there. I talk about how much I love the place, so I'd better start working to keep it that way.
