Back Home: Boston

After the last post about what I love about Cedar Falls, I got to thinking about what I missed about Boston. It's killer. At this point in my life, no matter how many other places I live, I am going to miss somewhere else. When I am in Boston, I miss Cedar Falls, and now that I am back here, I want to go back to Boston.

It is definitely something that will plague me for the rest of my life. But is that such a bad thing? It is when it comes down to decisions like where I want to be, but it just also means that I have found places that have made the moments in my life. I have attachments and loves in all of these places, with people and events and everything surrounding the areas. *sigh* Let's just make one big city! And everyone I love can live in it!

I can definitely understand why not knowing anyone from high school is a plus on your list! There are many people in this town that I could do with out seeing.:-)
