This place..Im going to miss the smell, the calm and relaxing feel within these walls. I love that big window in my room that only has a view of the road in front of this space and the cars crammed in the driveway, the window of which I have yet to cover with curtains (its been a year). I complained about that window and the light that shined threw so brightly. Truth is now, it would give my heart some peace to know Id be coming home again. Laying here on this couch is home to me, special. My safe haven. The place where I first belonged, after not belonging in what I called my home before. The clock on the wall, a sound I took for granted before, now a song I wish I could hear everyday. And I dont mean just any clock..this clock. The clock isnt even mine, its not even a special clock. It doesnt light up, have bells or whistles, but its the soothing tick that I will always remember. The memory of summer here..returning from the beach, sun kissed skin and the layer of sand that lingered until the fall. Long nights, slumber parties, house parties. Its the people who tread in and out, found our home theirs as well. Dinners that have been cooked on the stove and those cookies I never made in the oven. The laughter, the jokes, funny faces, VMAs and how we watched Miley over and over and over (very confused, might I add). The Netflix nights, watching a full season of Orange is the New Black in one night, One more episode? Yea, just ONE more. Staying up into the wee hours of the morning talking. Seriously contemplating taking the light bulb out of the socket on the front porch, outside my window..it took the act of God to keep that light off at night..lol. The comfort of having someone to talk to when you roll in at 3a.m., also knowing you wont be getting sleep that night because the conversation wont be ending anytime soon. Knowing your OCD roommate is coming home soon and you only have a couple weeks to organize a months worth of chaos, only to find the house spotless when you get home one day (busted). Braxtons obnoxious bark every single time someone came home, Calis annoying fur EVERYWHERE (mostly my sink), and Patrons little keep away attitude...these are some of the things Im going to miss. But mostly, the ones who I will always be able to call family, no matter how far apart or how often we speak. These girls have been there for me when I was down, always there to raise an eyebrow when I did something questionable, laughed at my dumb jokes, picked on me for being a complete whiny baby when I was sick, took joy in knowing things I THOUGHT I was keeping from them...refer back to raising a brow..Some of the most special people to me and Im not sure they know. I have 13 more days until my time is up between these door walls and time brings another family and another story. Its been over a year but it only feels like yesterday I began this adventure. One of the greatest years of my life. I learned a lot, grew up, found Amanda again, experienced life changes, left people in the past, fell in love and with every stepping stone, they were there as part of my family to experience it with me or hear about it whether they really wanted to or not. I love yall. :) Thank you for being a frieeeend, traveled down the road and back.. ok..let me stop.. #memoriesmadehere #missthesunwhenitstartstosnow
