Peacing Out

i've never been away from home for more than four weeks or so, and even when i was gone that long, i never really felt... away. i always had friends or family or familiar territory to ground me. i know that tons of kids travel away from home for extended periods, but i have to admit that i feel pretty damn courageous right now. or maybe i'm just telling myself that to keep from crying in this lonely airport at 1am.

this summer was awesome. like, really great. a few hiccups of course, but i had such a good time that i don't have much reason to complain. i'm so happy that i was so sad to leave. that says something about you guys. if any of y'all are reading this, i'm missing you already. many margs shall be had upon my return.

all sappiness aside, i'm excited. i've got great things ahead of me, and even better things to return to. (or so i say now...)
