12. I have weird nostalgia for Tallahassee

Wed Sep 9, 2015, 04:29 PM

Sep 2015

Even though I only lived there from 0 to about 18 months. Then we moved to Sarasota until I was maybe 3. Then we moved once a year every year for next 8 or 9 years and I finally got to stay at the same school for more than a year when I Was in High School (In Dallas).

So I really only know Tallahassee from stories and visiting my grandparents but it was the only constant thing I can remember until I got to high school. We always went to grandma and grandpa's for summer vacation and quite a few christmases.

Now I miss Dallas but I get to go to Tallahassee on occasion for work so that itch is scratched. The pine smells are all I need to feel comforted.

I like the idea of living in NYC but I don't know if I would like the reality of it. Maybe if I made a lot of money. Would love to visit though.
