chicago

i got into chicago this afternoon.

it's always amazing how much more alive i feel when i'm in chicago than when i'm anywhere else. i never really understood the concept of a place feeling like home until i lived in chicago...and even more strongly, now that i've been living somewhere else for a few years. growing up, i always laughed at the idea of a person being so tied to a place that they knew they needed to return. over the last few years, i can't laugh at the idea anymore. turns out i just hadn't realised that i had such a place.

i know i muse about this all the time. i know everyone is probably sick of hearing me gush about this city. but, i will keep gushing about it until i move back for good.

i can't even promise to stop then.
