Since my dreams have come true, can I go home now?

I know it's silly, but whenever I would go to a big city, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Paris, I would always dream of how my life would be if I lived in a big city.  I would look at the skyline and dream of my important life and busy schedule.  How it would be SO great to take public transportation, I would go EVERYWHERE on the subway... I wouldn't even need a car.


Well, now I know.   Here is a picture of the view from my school.  As you can see, I finally live in a big city.

I use the metro and busses to get around; I have no car.

I also used to wonder what it would be like to live in the cold weather.

Today it was -1 degrees celsius.  For those of you who do not know celsius, 0 degrees is FREEZING.  I was so cold.  All day long, even though i was wearing 3 layers, when I would leave my classroom or the teachers' office, the cold from the hallways would slap me in the face and the chest and especially, my legs, which only had a pair of jeans.

I get it now.  I have lived in the cold.  I have lived in the big city.  Now I know.

I want to go home.

  1. Ahhh... I wondered about the weather, knowing how easily you get cold!
    Yes, come home. You've experienced what you needed/wanted to experience. Perhaps now it is time for something else...
    Have you another dream? What's next?
