i think i'm a city girl at heart.
i spent yesterday in chicago with irina, walking up and down michigan avenue, and thinking a lot about where i see myself in 4 years. i grew up in the small confining community and i don't really think i want to stay there. i love having pretty much the whole world at your fingertips and having so many opportunities to grow and learn and explore. the city is magical to me. i long to live in a huge apartment building, take the bus or the el or walk to work, and see people from all different walks of life pass me by on the streets. maybe i'm just romanticizing the whole thing, but talking to ellie about her life there at moody just makes me want to pack up and join her. i mean, i don't want the whole curfew and no movies and insane studying that she has, i just want a city lifestyle.
i love it, but it also scares the crap out of me.
maybe i'll live there some day. who knows.
for now, i'll keep dreaming.
