carolina, you keep calling me home


I crossed the North Carolina border today and instantly burst into tears of joy. dear Carolina, it's been far too long since I have seen your sunshine and breathed your fresh air. thank you for being patient with me. I apologize for the many plans that fell through this semester, but know it pained me too. maybe secretly I was just waiting till you were blooming and beaming.
in you, I feel that content feeling-- like the way it feels when you are falling asleep and your body finally surrenders and sinks into the sheets, and you almost want to sigh a relief. you are my comfort. you are my haven. Carolina, you are my home.
