In seven hours I will be flying back to Los Angeles after a week in Philadelphia. This trip was my first visit since moving to Los Angeles last year and I was excited to see my friends and family. It was good seeing everyone and I realized just how much I missed them all so much. The people I missed most are my youngest siblings who have grown so much this past year. It saddened me to realize how much I had missed in their lives.
In spite of missing people so much though this trip has reinforced to me that leaving Philadelphia was the best decision for me. Growing up here I always felt out of place and could never quite find where I fit in here. Being back here made me realize that while Philadelphia would always hold a special place in my heart it was never really home for me.
