I think I'm starting to like San Francisco. Somehow realizing that I've been here for longer in my years as a 20 something than anywhere else. Next year marks year 4 in California and year 3 in SF.
At reconciliation mass yesterday, realized the community that I have just right in my neighborhood. Church folks whom I love and know. Neighbors whose names I don't know but always say hi and hello at laundromat and coffee store, students who see and greet me at the local Albertsons and friends just round the corner. I have become a familiar face.
Wow.
I still want to go places to see the world. But it's getting increasingly harder to give this community up.
