odd realization

it occurred to me recently that i don't miss "home" anymore, at all. its not that i dont love the people who remain there, but that somehow ive moved on and forward.

im not sure that boston is "home" yet. im not nearly established enough.

but i am happy, i am content. i do feel alive again. and i feel like myself.

i felt so lost and confused at home the past 5 months. i felt out of place and transitory. i think there were a lot of reasons i felt that way. but i feel so glad/blessed to be here where i am.

and i love grad school. i love learning. i love my classes. i love the people, i love the city. and yes, i even love the discipline: english, against all odds.

today was a nice day of rest for me.
