georgia.

  
The part of me that thought around this time last year that I would never love New York City as much as Georgia was simply incorrect. I miss that place. After making the decision to remain in the suburban terrain of Buford for the coming year, floods of emotion missing aspects of New York came over me. The coffee shops, the subway, the people, the experience was like no other place and there is a piece of longing within me that cannot wait to get back. There is something to be said for contentment, and I recognize within myself that it is something I will have to choose consistently. There is beauty in being grateful for what is surrounding you in any moment. In this season of life it will be my family that is welcoming a new baby in January, the precious family I will gain in just over three months, and a rekindled fondness of the place where I grew up.
  More than just NYC, I will miss having those relationships, which I was sweetly blessed with, close by. Those seven ladies made the biggest impact on my experience in New York. Through frustrations, one-on-one talks and great food, we learned to support one another.
  Seasons change. New pieces of life spring up and I want to be in a place where I can be receptive to them. I will be back, New York. All in due time.
