back in NYC

so, i just spent 10 days back in north carolina at home (?). I dont really know where to refer to as home now. My parents house will always be THE home, but is it still home? Is NYC just a temporary stop? Am I really independent or basically still a college student? I geuss it might feel different if I actually had an apartment that wasnt the size of a dorm room. Being home was nice but difficult too. I love my family and still have a few great friends there, but it is kind of a chapter of my life I wanted to move out of. So going back to it was weird. I geuss I can never completely separate the past from the present. Being home did remind me of some great things....

life is short, enjoy it
good health is important
people are important
seminary is not a point of arrival
people dont really care about theology
everyday is a good day
enjoy excess
learn to live with less
pets are good
dont stress

and i could go on, but i'll refrain (plus I'm tired)
