Everybody: I miss you. Everything: I miss you. I miss you, green trees and murky river blending with the concrete, thriving within our concrete jungle. I miss you, grocery store that is by the corner so you can get your choice ingredients in a second without having to get in a car and drive. I miss you, different people, different faces, different sights, different smells. I miss you, city. I miss you, friends, school, and omn can you believe it Ms. Jones retired!--I miss you family, I miss you home.
(did you know that when I get home from a long trip away, I always greet Home. "Hello, Home!" I say, "Hello, Room!" Even when no one else is there.)
But I love you countryside, I love your space and air and beach and quiet. And I'm scared and excited and angry and so incredibly happy for the new school year and the things it will bring, too.
How can I be so full of contrasting emotions, and so full yet so empty?
