Going home for me is always a chance to breath. At school I’m constantly running, constantly stimulated, constantly doing something, being with someone, blah.

But when I come home I have this great long breath to sit down and chill out and not do anything and catch up with friends I’ve known since I was 14, and who really still know me best. Home is still home to me, probably because it’s one of the few places I can really be alone and not feel like I shouldn’t be, and after college life, I need that.

I always felt annoyed going home from college and running into people from my high school. Everyone changed, and whether it was for the better or worst, I really didn’t want to learn about it. For a while, my encounters with high school friends/acquaintances/etc was just a 5 minute conversation of what was going on before splitting. I’m just fine with that.
