Swades

You know when all your friends move away and all you want to do is go somewhere cool and new too, but there's a growing, but still teensy tiny part of you that really just wants to move back home? That's how I feel right now. Like I've had my adventures and my cool life in the cool city far away. But I miss the hot summers and the loving parents and the friends that might have moved too once, but long to move back just like I do. Or maybe they've beaten me to it. The friends that last for life, not just a year of loneliness. Why do always feel like I have to be defensive about it? Is it the tone in their voice when they ask why?
