life here becomes life.

I feel like I haven't posted anything of any substance in ages. I keep coming to Blogger, ready and willing to type down all sorts of witty things, but when I get to the blank page, I suddenly fall short. I have no idea what to tell you, but I think I have finally figured out why.

I no longer feel like I'm on some adventure. I no longer feel like every building I see must be photographed and documented. I have finally reached true complacency and living in Chester just feels like my life. I hope this doesn't come off negatively, because honestly, it feels quite comforting to know the streets and to be able to give directions to strangers. When I see lost touristy Americans, I almost giggle to myself. It feels comforting to understand the two meanings of "tea time" and to not be concerned when cars whiz past me, traveling at unsafe speeds on the wrong side of the street. Cobbled streets feel natural under my feet and instead of seeing signs that advertise afternoon specials such as tea and scones and thinking how quaint and adorable they are, I think about how I've actually been craving a scone all day. That would hit the spot. Living in Chester feels like home, truly.

That isn't to say I've forgotten why I am here. I'm aware that I am living my own dream come true. I am in the place I have always wanted be and I am surrounded by wonderful people. However during the month of October, I have found myself getting my feet planted and my life slowing down, just a bit. I have grown comfortable in this beautiful city, but I do believe that it is time to shake things up. ;)


Change is coming soon and I will embrace it with open arms.
