about home
There’s something about being home. The look, feel, smell … I could go on, but mostly, it’s the history. Nothing can take away the familiarity of being here. Around family, friends I’ve known forever or new acquaintances – it’s all amazing.
The thing is, while I know I’m only here for the short “long weekend”, I don’t feel so sad that I’m leaving again and staying in Windsor for the summer. I know that home will always be home. No matter how many times they change the layout of Square One or renovate the local bar we frequent. I know I’m loved and missed here so it’s not a one-sided deal.
Because the real deal is that the years are flying by, like, seriously – flying by. And next year, when I’m going to be writing about how scary it is that I’m graduating and I’m done – I know I’m going to miss Windsor and my life that I’ve acquired there. That’s the thing I’ll never be able to get back. I won’t go back to “visit” anybody really, because nobody will really be here. I’ll just be going back to live in Mississauga – which is great, but I know the inevitable will occur. I’ll miss it. After three years I’ve finally realized that – to be happy with where I am right now. Living between cities, getting the opportunities and experiences that a lot of people don’t get.
But still, there’s something about being home. And knowing that I’ll always be ale to come back.
