Forever Missing

From the eyes of a newbie forever missing.


When I say home, what do you think of?


I think of my mother's house, where I grew up, and the security I felt in high school. I also think of my first college dorm that was about 8 feet by 10 feet, I think about how much I miss my Lakeview apartment in Chicago with the wood floors and smell of coffee brewing. I really miss my gym with the tall climbing wall, granite counters and hot showers, and the best coffee in the world at Cafe Cito. I never thought I would miss the CTA, but I do, I also never thought I would miss Chicago winters, but I do...


Recently I realized that from now until the day I die I will always miss something from the past. Something people have always told me is to cherish the present, but how can I when the past has so many more memories?
