Familiar places & faces.......

I have so many things on my mind right now, I don't even know where to start......

This past weekend I went to Manhattan, KS to visit some of my friends. It was really fun and I was really happy to see them; and although I was a little disappointed by some things that I didn't get to do, it was still the most fun I've had in a while. It made me think about coming back to familiar places. Before I went to Manhattan, I stopped at my parents house in my hometown. It was so amazing to me how after all the years of not living there, every time I drive into town, its almost as if I never left. It's so familiar and still the same......it's the place I wanted to get away from for so long, but I've realized that as many times as I've moved and ventured into the unknown, its nice to know that there's a place you can always go back to and you know it so well, its almost comforting.

Today I finally figured out a recurring dream I've been having......well, actually, a recurring character in a few dreams that I've had. An old friend that I just happen to run into. While it is this certain person, I've come to the conclusion that its actually about someone else I've been thinking about a lot lately. Some people come into your life and you make such a connection that you can hardly contain it. But, for some reason there's always something holding onto that connection and it won't let get past a certain point. I knew it probably wasn't healthy for me to hold onto this person, so we let each other go, but I can't help but wonder.........
I don't know, maybe now that I think I have it figured out, I won't dream about it anymore, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
