I planned to write something really extensive, try to justify the move, explain my reasoning...but then I remembered I don't owe you anything.
A lot of people tried to say I didn't give Chicago a fair chance, or that I wanted this so much. I did. How can I just turn around and go back? I'm a fast learner. Since most of my relationships last an average of 3 months, maybe I have a fear of commitment thrown in. Talk to me when I'm 30.
Moving to Chicago was the best decision I ever made. I always said that I loved people who live in Chicago because they actually want to live here. The people in New York feel like they need to live there. I realized I need to live there. I spent so much time telling myself not to look back, but now I realize maybe I was looking in the right direction and moving in the wrong one - like those seats on the train that face backwards. Maybe they know what's up.
Yes, Sonya, I can hear you. "You suck at moving to New York!" Hey, third time's a charm, right?
Chicago, consider this my two weeks notice.
New York, I wish I knew how to quit you.
This time we make it,
