I was in such a hurry to leave the south all those years ago. I almost forgot why. When I came back, I thought I was coming to a city with some character and culture, and not just another small town like the one I left behind.
The palates here are unrefined. The vision is narrow. The ideas are limited, and the creativity is stifled.
I forget how much I’ve seen and done; how much I’ve tasted and experienced.
I have to remind myself every day. I have been so lucky and so blessed.
It’s a nice read Lula.
I don’t think you need to edit it at all 😉
Anand 🙂

Thanks Gina. You are so right!
Love exploring new “worlds”. It is great that you have given yourself the opportunity to see more than what you were used to and going back brings a huge appreciation to that experience. Beautiful!
Exploring is so much fun. I’ll never get bored of it and all I learn from it.
Really enjoyed your terse, succinct account of why you left the South! This line, “The vision is narrow” — summed it up for me.
Terse and succinct… That’s me on a good day 😉
Very good read! No editing needed!
Love the contrast, you know what you want and you are indeed blessed. 🙂
