Home

I have decided to post about a thought I recently had about Home and where it currently isnt.
It's a bit angsty but what can I say, I'm just a big old angst bucket.

You could come live in Chicago. Then you wouldn't complain about feeling at home. You'd complain about the dry air and how frick'n cold it is in the winter.

People have asked me where I consider home. So far I've taken the cop out and simply said that home is wherever I have a house key. Although at one point I had keys to three different houses so that didn't quite work.

Chicago is turning more and more into home for me. Partially because I know that I will be in the same place for at least 5 years, and partially because I've become so involved with school and work.

Ok I don't know quite where I'm going with this....maybe I need more of a social life in Chicago. Or at least someone who I can honestly say would drive me to the ER at 3am and not complain about it. That's part of what makes a good friend.

I've been struggling with something very similar lately. I know we'll be here for a few more years, but after that, it's anyone's guess. I think all this wondering qualifies as a sort of homesickness, and I think it's made worse by how different the East Coast is from the Midwest.
