Do You Miss Where You Once Lived
People ask me all the time; do you miss where you used to live?
In ways I do
I miss my friends, my family, and the music all around downtown Halifax
I miss going to the cute little cafes around the city
I miss the culture there
I miss the sandy beaches, and the beautiful valleys
At the same time though,
I don’t miss it
I love who I have become through the experiences I’ve had in this new city
I have learned important life lessons that I wouldn’t have learned being there
I have met incredible people who I will stay in touch with forever
I got my first job here, I got my license here, I’m graduating from high school here
I can’t imagine being anywhere but this new city right now
One day I may move back to Halifax
I want to
Just not yet
That’ll happen in a different chapter of my life
