After about four years, I went back to the place I grew up only to find that the house was inhabited again. It surprised me, because frankly it's a pretty ugly house. But, whoever's living in it now made it a LITTLE less hard on the eyes...
I went up to the door, knocked, and when no one answered, I decided it wasn't a very good idea to wander around the yard without anyone's permission. So, I went and walked around in the woods I used to play in as a child. Not much had changed, and yet a whole lot had at the same time. I was a little confused about it all.
In fact, I think I was so confused that I started crying. I wailed at the heavens that I missed and loved that place so much, but I wouldn't be able to stay there anymore. It was a strange sensation... being there all over again; I wanted to go and yet I really just wanted to lay down on the pine-needle-strewn ground and sleep there for the rest of eternity.
Sorrow and happiness, all rolled into one. I've never been so perplexed in my life.

You're right, because right after I started this thread, my friend Ashley called me and I ended up going to hang out in a tent with a whole bunch of people, which is always fun. Except after a while I seemed to always find myself on a guy named Vincent's lap.... excusable only in the fact that I was cold and I needed someone to hold me....
