i’m so sick of illinois.

it’s freeeezing cold

but it almost never snows

just an annoying frosting of ice on my windowshield that makes me late for work every morning.

the landscape is NOT pretty

ever.

not even in the spring.

i want so very badly to relocate myself. to some other state with a different type of people. maybe i’ll go south, i hear people are more patient there (we could DEFINITELY use some of that around here)

mostly i just want a change of surroundings, i think. there isn’t a lot to do here. i want vacation sooo badly, and it isn’t until August. i’d leave tomorrow if i could.

i miss colorado. and florida. and germany. and every other place i’ve ever been (which isnt’ really a lot…)

I just want to experience different things before i get too old to do it. i want to see if i can make it in a new place. surely i’d make friends in time. not that i wouldn’t miss the ones here, because i really would.

i’d miss my family, too, which is why i know that someday i’ll be back here no matter what happens. the midwest will always be my home, but i would like to try something different for awhile.

but this probably won’t happen.

i’m just keeping my eyes open, though.

I think that I’m just tired
I think I need a new town,
to leave this all behind…
