It's Been Far Too Long

It's been far too long since I've posted anything.  I don't really know where August went, but it's certainly sped by!  I've been on two road trips since the month began, finished up my summer job, and now have less than a week to pack all of my belongings and somehow say goodbye.  I grew far too attached to Nebraska this summer.  I thought I would simply resent it for not being New York.  I thought that I would be angry that Nebraska couldn't help me further my life goals, and I thought I would be upset that I never found a suitable internship.  I still wish I had done more--but who ever doesn't?  

While those things may be true, I have such a soft spot in my heart for this place and this summer.  Maybe it's because I got engaged, and maybe it's because of all the long summer nights I spent with my friends.  This summer proved to be a much needed break before I go back to the city that never seems to stop and the school that never lets you take a break.  I honestly can't look back at my summer and see anything super productive, but I feel satiated.  I took the time to remember where I came from, and in that I rediscovered who I am.  I mean, I still don't really know, but I know that I like the direction I'm going.  And I really know that I'm ready to go back to school and start becoming who I saw myself to be this summer.
