it was beautiful, clear, clean and cool (for some reason only adjectives starting with 'c' come to mind...oh yeah, cloudy on two of the days i was there), and i did love it...but i couldn't really see myself living there. i think i was too set on making seattle my own before i had even set foot there. in my head i was already arranging furniture and rock climbing at the local gym. what i didn't factor into the equation was an inexplicable longing for the east coast. homesickness even, i guess you could say. it seems that i completely underestimated new york's grip on me. a 4 year relationship must take a longer time to get out of than i thought.
i think this quote from flannery o'connor says it all:
"where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it."
