When I was in high school, I used to drive the back roads to find peace, to chill, to relax. It was something about just jumping in the car and driving... No where in particular, with my mom or friends. It's been years since I found driving peaceful but now that I'm home again, I find myself just driving. I check out what's changed, what's the same. Today, I came to this place that I didn't exactly know but this tangible sense of nostalgia took over. I don't know why, but it was this sense of peace. Peace to be home, to fit. I never wanted to stay in this state. And I definately didn't want to move back but now that I'm here I know that you CAN go home again.
I struggled so much with being ashamed by things that I did or said or the way I treated people. I felt like that defined me and I associated that with Michigan. But I'm not that girl, we all do things we aren't proud of, and who I am now and who I'm becoming is really the real deal and what matters.
