Well, I am not really returning from much. I thought this blog was going to be a method I was going to use to keep friends/family updated about my adventures in NYC.
Sadly enough, NYC has not been as exciting as I would have thought.
Right now I am on vacation back in Washington, and laziness is the name of the game. It is so hard to get over a feeling of awkwardness that I have slightly developed though. The feeling that right now, I do not really belong anywhere.
The city is a very lonely place. Home is not quite where I feel... "at home." Even when spending time with close friends, I am overwhelmed with a sense that, in this very fluid life, I have somehow fallen into a seperate stream. I am flowing in a direction away from the ones I care about most, and can do nothing but hope that somehow our paths cross again when the time is right.
My life in JVC has changed me more than I realize. Not only has New York City given me more bite and quite a bit more impatience, but it has also forced me to grow up in a way I never would have realized. I still don't entirely know how I have changed... but something is different. I didn't realize this until now.
