Summer Back Home

I've been contemplating a fresh start. Although starting over is difficult, it offers valuable experiences and builds character. I don't regret my decision to be here in New York - it's been humbling. However, I've realized that New York isn't where I see myself in the long run. As I get older, I find that patience is something I lack; I want things to happen instantly. But I've learned that everything takes time. That's why I prioritize my free time. Writing down my thoughts and releasing pent-up emotions has been crucial for my well-being. This summer has been a much-needed opportunity for self-reflection. There's no fear of missing out for me; I'm determined to pursue the things I've put off for so long and focus on a positive future. I've even made a list of the pros and cons of being home. I once dreamed of living a "Sex and the City" lifestyle, but the reality is different. The cost of living in New York is high, and the city's constant hustle and bustle is wearing me out. I've been feeling the pull of a slower-paced life, and I'm considering a move to London. I believe it's the Aquarius in me, always seeking adventure. I've promised myself to set achievable goals while I'm here and embrace simplicity. As I get back into the swing of things, I know everything will fall back into place. I returned for friends and family, but I've realized that I need personal space to breathe, think, and succeed. I'm ready to explore new possibilities, save money, and live life to the fullest. A farm or small home where I can have a garden and grow my own produce sounds appealing to me. I'd also like to grow my own Mary Jane (plays Rick James). I need to apologize to my friends for my sometimes reclusive tendencies, but it's essential for me to recharge. Activities like catching up on sleep, watching my favorite show "Charmed," bike riding, and visiting the library have been rejuvenating for me. The smell of books and the serenity there provide a much-needed escape for me to decompress. Well, I tend to ramble, and this is starting to get a bit long, so I'll sign off now *Plays "No Doubt - It's My Life"*
