I've been thinking about my life lately and I wonder how I ended up here. It's funny to think back on it all - my childhood in the city, my parents' marriage that fell apart when I was young, the countless times I felt like an outsider growing up.
I moved out of the city as soon as I could after high school, feeling like a fish out of water amidst the bright lights and endless noise. The peace and quiet of the countryside were a relief at first, but it eventually wore off. I found myself restless, with nothing to fill my days with.
In the end, it was a move back to the city that seemed to settle me down a bit. It's been years now since I've left - long enough for me to start making some friends, finding a job and figuring out who I am outside of the chaos of childhood. But still... there are times when all these memories come flooding back in and I'm not sure how to reconcile them with my life today.
