I fully understand this. I was born and raised in Ct. Spent most of my weekends in Boston or Salem. I have lived in Texas for the past 7 years. Went home this past September and man, it really hit me how much I miss. I love New England, always will and am now chomping at the bit to move home.

The thing is… I’m not locked in with any sort of resume or credibility. I do school online and wasn’t planning to be college bound. It’s unknown but it’s really important I create a necessary future for myself and build a proper one for the next gen under me

Education is always a good thing. Middlesex Community College (Massachusetts) is excellent and most of the classes are still online. So you could start even before moving back.

It gets to you for sure. Life is too short for any bullshit. Your heart and soul is what matters so much.

Family is so very important. It’s everything. If you have an opportunity to be with your heart and soul, your family in a place that encapsulates family and the beauty of life… fuck anything else. If you are absolutely fulfilled and you understand how and all, you have something special. I’m talking to you, but also talking to me. I understand this concept well because I feel this way too.
