It has been past the three month mark that i've been home. chicago now seems really far away, and college like a distant memory. Though, some days, i remember moments like it was yesterday. it feels all a little bit more like a dream that i woke up from. i'm here to stay, i suppose. the sister is leaving to go back to edinburgh for her second year. home's going to be different without her. it's odd to be on this side now, being "left", instead of leaving. leaving was initially rough, but as the years went by, it was leaving, but also returning to another version of familiar.
