It's crazy how much places can have an influence on our thoughts, feelings, memories, and other internal factors. Even driving down Main Street listening to music I enjoyed back in 2006 (still the best year of my life) in the autumn air, reminds me of pumpkin patches, getting coffee at Scooters, walking my dog at night, watching the fireworks after a T-Bones game even though we didn't attend it, sitting on top of Dave and Busters, and falling in love. I never want to leave this place or the way it makes me feel.
Today was one of those days. I ventured to my parents' house and then to Ft. Leavenworth for some medical stuff, to the PX, then sat by the Lake on Ft. Lv and watched the geese hiss at each other and waddle around, then strolled through the downtown farmer's market and looked at the local veggies and almost bought some homemade soap but didnt, then I stopped by the store to get my brother his birthday present (felt coloring books, and unfortunately they didn't have a slinky or else I would've gotten him that too), then back home to cook out with my mom and brother (grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, and fettucini alfredo). Follllllowed by doing homework, watching tv, baking cookies, and hanging out with my friend Guy.
It might not be a typical day for a college student, but it's perfect for me.
Happy 25th to my brother!
