Home & Itchy Feet

So before my birthday, I was really excited to go back to the US for a visit, I need a breath of fresh air from my Thailand experience and I was getting my usual "itchy feet" phenomenon which means i just get restless.

But after my fantastic birthday, i really had a chance to engage and enjoy the life I have built here, and appreciate it. And I am incredibly attached now. Chiang Mai is more of a home to me now than anywhere has been in the last decade --- and I have such a great support system, I didn't want to leave. I have been actually sad about going "home" to US even though its only for a visit.

And now getting in touch with my friends, just trying to make plans in the US, is annoying. Everyone is so busy with plans and even with five weeks to play with, its like they have like one moment to give me. It reminds me of how happy I am not there.

I think it will be all the wonderful thing i was previously lookign forward to. but its great that i know my home is in the right place.
