So long and farewell

Today really really changed my perspective on things.
There was this situation, that not only made me extremely happy lol, but it was a situation where you're like, "everything is going to be okay."

Leaving home a year and a half ago was the best decision I've made so far in my life. School choice, maybe not so great, but if it wasn't for going to a school around here I wouldn't have left home. So okay, not only have I learned to become more independent and how to take care of my bills and running my own errands all without my mommy holding my hand through the whole thing (I'm a big girl now!!), I have realized that this whole time I have had mixed feelings about being home and being in Chicago.

I will never live at home permanently ever again. As much as I love everyone there, and miss my friends, I have never been more alive than when I am in Chicago. I feel like I'm in my element, and as much as I complain about school, that is NOT Chicago. I have met the most interesting people.

This "situation" I spoke of earlier, gave me a hope that I won't always have this lonely feeling in my heart forever. And although I may not always have people, I can always meet more. I felt more restricted back home, everyone knew each other. In Chi, I can meet a new person everyday if I wanted to. It never gets old.

I love Detroit, and I will forever remember it as home, and remember my memories there. And Chicago, to me can't compare with the D and downriver haha. But now I feel at home, and it's one of the greatest feelings I've had since I've been at school.
