I was asked today if I was excited for Florida.... for going back "home." I answered no. Specifically, "I hate Florida with a burning passion." A little harsh, I know. I would love Florida if I were simply visiting instead of living there. I love the places I have committed myself to such as school and the shelter. I would probably love Florida even more if I weren't currently being abandoned piece by piece.
I love the people and I wish I never had to be away from them. Sadly, that's not how life works. Life is all about finding something that makes you happy and soon after waving goodbye from the back window. We're never the ones driving, as much as my optimistic self would like to say we were. I'm not entirely sure who's driving.... or if the car is even moving.
All I can do is focus on now. I'm in New Hampshire, where the weather is beautiful and the people smile back. The wildlife walks along my porch and eats in nearby trees. The birds ensure you stir when the sun rises. The foxes make your heart skip a beat in the silence of the night. The squirrels..... well, they just like to yell.
