Can I say Philadelphia? Is that cheating? I mean, it's not really a vacation, because I used to live there.
But that's why I always come back. It's home. It's where my mom is. It's where some of my stuff is. I still have a bedroom at my childhood house. And I'm sure this is all remarkably sappy to the rest of you, but I like it. I'm glad that I grew up in such a stable environment, and proud of where I come from. I don't ever want to forget any of it.
I think it's all a perspective thing. Where I am today is a result of where I was before, and wherever I end up is a result of where I am now. It's all important. Even the times that weren't so great still left their mark. It wasn't easy after my dad died, but even in that, he taught me something and made me a better person. I still cringe when I think about the time I shattered my guitar, but if I had it to do over again, you bet I'd break it a thousand times. And I want to hold on to my youth because it meant something to me too.
Besides. We all know there is no way my mother is ever moving out of that house, and we also all know not to argue with my mother. So this is just the way it's always going to be. (Love you, Mom.)
