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 😉

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.
