On a bus from Gilford, NH, coming into Boston, MA:
Things I love about right now:
- sitting in the jump seat, catching the first glimpse of the city skyline
- watching signs pass by me with names I haven't thought of in years
(Medford, Somerville, Essex)
- pulling up to a hotel
mere blocks away from my last college dorm
- getting turned away from the old pub I used to go to
(memories of college...)
- greeted with a complimentary fruit tray and sparkling water
in my plush hotel room
(nothing like college)
- opening my shades to see a view
of concrete and tops of skyscrapers
- trying to savor the fleeting feeling of nostalgia I get from seeing
- feeling like a little kid on Christmas eve,
knowing that when I wake up,
I will get the chance to explore my former home,
almost like it was the first time
all over again.
