Bye bye to Portland and Seattle

I had an amazing vacation. And that combined with some other reasons I just do not want to go back to Philly. I am 1.5 hours away from landing, and I just wish I did not have to go back there… at least for now.

West Coast is definitely a whole different world altogether. And I think north west is the most under rated region in America. Where else would you see a mountain peak on the left and down town Seattle on the right, creating the most blissful scenery? Seattle is made for someone like me. Being a technical person, companies such as Microsoft and Amazon just create opportunities for me there. The weather is ummmm not that great but I think I can manage. Varun lives three hours away, Gwen lives right there and I heard the dating scene is awesome there (I mean who doesn’t find that appealing)

I know at the end of a trip or being away for a while, I have always wanted to come back to Philly. But that has to do a lot with the people around me, and not the city on its own. I know I can create a Philly in Seattle if I want to, rather if I get to be with that many people.

Its high time, I start preparing myself to leave Philly. It’s not like I am going to be there forever. Portland is a little to quiet for me, but may be Seattle is it.

So now back to this plane ride. There is a kid sitting in the row in front of me, and he has managed to turn my computer off two times by just slipping his hand through the gap between the seats and making me re write this post twice

(yeah yeah.. I should save my drafts)

Now three days in Philly, and then I head to Tuscan AZ.  Some life people would say. Can I say the same though??

Anyhoo.. I fly so much, but somehow I never ever liked it as much especially when I cant sleep. This flight is 2 hours 39 minutes, which is nothing compared what I usually do, but for some reasons it seems 10 times longer….sigh

Being home and some more

Being home after 2 years is like coming to a new world with same old people.

Family and friends are still the same, I shock them more with my behaviour than they do with theirs.

Its HOT like always. Burning hot.

Food still tastes amazing, and inflation is still at its best.

So much has changed, and yet so much has not.

I feel like when I go back, it is going to be a new world again. I know nothing changes in 2 weeks, but somehow it has.

Good things:

I am not angry anymore. I am not mad. I dont care about certain things. I am not upset about them all the time, and I wish all good. No bad wishes or any complaints. Whatever happens, is for the good.

Bad things:

Whenever I think of what happened, I get sad. Feel betrayed, but that fact does not linger in my mind all the time. Which is very good. It's too early to forget, but I think I'll get there eventually.

Home makes me feel how I am living two lives. My friends here think, I am the strongest person they know. They think I move on very fast, I do not take BS and much more.

Friends in Philly think I am EMO. lol. I am overly emotional, get attached to soon, do not move on, and you know all the girly stuff.

Honestly, I do not know which one am I, because both these sets have seen a lot of me. Friends here never see me upset, or complaining about boys or anything (because I dont feel like it, because nothing bothers me), so I guess they are right in their own way.

Friends there.. welll...in the past one year or so.. all they have seen is me being EMO (as they put it), so I can't say they are wrong either. I guess I do have a dual personality, or may be it is just something that happens, unintentionally.
