November To Remember: Going Home To Recouperate


Dear Friends,



            As I embark on my journey back to familiar surroundings, I find myself laughing at all the times, I had to go back somewhere with my tail tucked between my legs. I saw on the news that people from the ages of 25 to 34 had to come home or close to home because they graduated school but no job. I can relate to that since even though I got my associate’s degree but have not done shit with it. I don’t like to admit defeat but with the shit that I been through, I need to run like hell. I am happy to at least have someone and somewhere to go when things go bad.

            My life has been many things but boring is not something I would use. What’s funny is that when I was with my current ex, I wanted a boring life but her life was more chaotic than mines. Going back to somewhere familiar helps me reflect and hopefully end my cycle of bad relationships and even worse endings to what should have been great stories. I don’t use home because my heart is my home. No matter where I am at, I am at home. That might be a silly thing to say but it has got me through my life even now.

            Home is where the heart is and I see that I have to get my life in order. I have said this many times before but this time, I mean it. After Andrea, I should have left for good. After Michelle M, I will fix my heart, my life, my soul and even finally clean on the skeletons in my closet before I decide to leave again. I feel like a broken record but hope this time going back to a place that makes me feel like I want to live life is better than being surrounded by sadness and depression. So like the song goes, I am coming home...tell the world I am coming home. That’s all for now but more to come.
