The term nostalgia describes a yearning for the past, often in idealized form. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia)
No… I don’t quite think that is the word or definition that I would use to describe how I’m feeling at the moment. But for the first time… probably ever… there are certain aspects of NY that I miss. Or maybe really just people.
In a stage where all of my relationships are pretty much brand new (not that I don’t love the new people in my life!), it’s amazing to re kindle those old friendships that pick up exactly where you left off.
Now I am left three days after leaving seriously missing some truly amazing people. It’s great to see how much we have all grown in the few years that we have been away from each other.
So now I am making it my life’s mission to convince a very select few people to MOVE CLOSER TO ME so that we have more than texting and the occasional crazy night of boozing it up and peeing in public every few months.
My aunt is going home in May and for the first time since 2007 I am actually excited about going back. Especially given that I will also be home in November to throw Bobbie’s sweet 16th birthday party!
Oh, and most of you have made promises to come visit me in the next 3-4 months… I am holding you to it!
