Honestly, people around here talk about wanting to get out of this “shithole” and whatnot, and I admit I feel like that too sometimes.
But eight days out of reach of people I love and the town that’s so familiar to me and has been my home my whole life…I get homesick. Really homesick. And I miss everything. The nice, Bellefonte water. My friends, the people I dislike, the Christmas lights hung around downtown, the little shops around here, Maggie’s house, my house, my dogs and my cat, the smell of burning wood, Weis Market, and there’s so much more.
They’re such silly things to miss, but I miss them all the same.
But I just need to enjoy my time with my grandparents and my Uncle Chris (who I don’t really think of as a Uncle because…well…he’s 26), and my Uncle Jay & Patti, my cousins, and Eddie and Toot’s (pronounced tou-ts) Thanksgiving dinner with all the people I only see once a year.
Blah.
