this morning #360.

this morning, with shy strides she stepped her way out of the subway. it had been far too long since she’d visited here & experienced the rush. a wave of nostalgia hit her all at once. late nights past. colorful city characters. the soup of scents. concrete energy that flowed south all the way to the ocean. moments that made her feel alive. moments that drove her away. being back brought on a lot, but now that she was back, she could look at it all with fresh eyes. in her time away, a lot had changed for her & while all this chaos was initially exhilarating, it only took a few days for homesickness to set in. she swore to the city that it was ok. it was she who had moved on. it was still a great place.
