Midland. Place of my birth, childhood and where my family still resides. A place seeped in memories that holds the weight of the past, the first 18 years of my life.
It's strange how such a place brings out the newest in a person. How I can go there, and at once be the person I've become and the person I was. Dually existing, dually feeling. It sounds like an existential plight, but it's really just... Midland.
I've had the best of times here, and also the worst of times. My life has split into these seperate existences. I love being here with my old friends. We've changed a lot, but still manage to maintain love for one another. It's refreshing to take away the pressure of always being perfect, and to just relax in the company of those who know and love you.
My personal life is as usual up in arms. I am satisfied and restless, all at once. Who knows what will happen. I am not one for fate, but I don't necessarily have a direction I want things to go in right now. So I will leave it up to... someone else deciding. Not really fate, but apathy. Cheery....
Work is going to consume me for the next 2.5 weeks. Two projects, two finals. Doesn't sound terrible, but it will be a lot to do.
Hopefully everything just falls into place.
