California

My friends tell me that I talk about California too much. But I feel like I don't talk about it enough. For the past four years I've been treating California as if it never existed.

In a way I'm a little embarrassed. Embarrassed to be in Alabama. Embarrassed for now having a legitimate answer when people ask me "Why did you move here?"

In more ways, I'm pissed. I could be gearing up to go to UCLA. I could be enjoying warm weather in January. I could be hanging at a DECENT mall with my Best Friend Angela (Yes, we'd still be traveling via Metro!). I could be walking to Jack in the Box with Michelle. I could be spending holidays with Auntie Ketha & DaMarco.

To be totally honest, I feel like Alabama has changed everything. However, I do know that things still would have changed if I didn't move. But I know that there would still be possibilities.

In all, I just want to go home.
