Maybe you can move back there once your nest is empty. Look – I just made you cry! Sorry! But really, I think we’re drawn to the places where we were happiest – and sometimes our subconscious fights to get back there. I did it! I moved away as a girl from 2 miles from where I sit, then as an adult moved back, then moved away (4,000 miles away), and am now sitting back here in Tennessee.
I got way too philosophical this morning. I think it’s because I gave up facebook.
How cool. Though I knew you grew up in Philly, in the actual city (as opposed to the ‘burbs), I did not know you grew up in a high-rise. I just imagined a brick rowhouse on Pine or something. I can’t think of anyone else I know who grew up in a high-rise. I find it … intriguing.
There’s something about this photo that I really really like.
I love you how you photoshopped this picture. It looks so much better
You are the only person I know who grew up on the 19th floor of anything. Not that I actually know you, but you get my drift.
Ever gone up to see who lives in your flat now?
Every time you write about this place my ears perk up (because I read with my earlobes) — because I have the same longing love for a place I spent 10 yrs and I am intrigued with the concept Chrissy mentions above. Places keep little pieces of our soul I am convinced of this.
