home sweet home...

I'm only minutes away from stepping back into my house after a 12 hour car drive back from Ann Arbor... and I already feel really sad. And that makes me even more sad that I feel that way. My home in Princeton is a place I never ever ever thought I would feel strange or out of place or want to be somewhere else more (except for maybe florence or

Kelly,

I don't know if we are livejournal friends or not but I saw this entry on Christina's friends, and I had to tell you that it's so strange reading this entry because I wrote one that is eerily similar the day that I got home for summer after my sophmore year. It's strange to feel like home isn't really home anymore and that your friends are kind of your family, no matter how much you love your real family...if that makes sense. Either way, finding the balance between Ann Arbor and home is hard, but eventually you reach a place where you feel right in both places. The uncomfortable-ness of home goes away once you come to grips with it no longer being your home.

That was babbling and it made little sense, so I'm gonna go.

Also, I'm sad that I have to watch LOST alone tomorrow.

ah yes, i remember that feeling.

don't worry, soon enough ann arbor will feel 100% like home
and then you'll be forced to leave forever.

oh, was that not reassuring? sorry...

just kidding, love. i know it's definitely a difficult transition period, but you'll find that each home and each friend (or group of friends) has it's own important role to play in your life. you just have to find the right balance/harmony.

.love.

My daddy always told me, and I am sure you have heard this before a million times, but the distances we are from the things we love can only reaffirm and strengthen that love. You will appreciate the things you are far from so much more when you return and that is always a lovely feeling I think. Even though you are home thinking of Ann Arbor, I bet you anything you are just so enamored with your mom's comfort and your brother's silly antics, and your dad's awesome jokes! All will be well, especially when it comes to Kelly Rahn!
