comin home

what's great about leavin home to live somewhere else is that you can appreciate home more than before. i've taken advantage of many of the things that i've had while living at home, but now that i'm all the way across the nation, i am glad to be coming home.

i'd see people around me all the time in the small town i am currently residing in and i wonder how they got to this random place in the middle of no where. when i first visited this little town i thought "who would ever want to be stuck here?!" i figure these people must have a reason. and they probably do. today i took a shuttle to the airport and there was a driver and a guy "in training." they were two of the most interesting guys i've encountered on a shuttle. the driver was in his 70s and was talking about his life in this little town. as we talked the two both seemed to have had a nice fulfilling life and just ended up back in this town because it's been their home their whole lives. but why did they choose this shuttle job this late in life? why did the younger man in training choose this job in the middle of his life?

i figure the answer is that: we all have our own paths and opportunities come our way at different times. we live life when it's meant to be lived and the things that happen to us in our lives can change the course of our lives. those who make the best of this journey are those who know how to enjoy life and are the most interesting to meet.

i hope to be one of these people. i'd like to enjoy everything i do even though it might not be that great at the time. life is an adventure. live it!
