disoriented

Shocker of all shockers, it dawned on me yesterday that I've lived most of my life in Dallas. 7 years in Puerto Rico, 12 years in South Florida, 18 years here. Where is home? Even after all of these years, I'm certain Dallas is not it. As long as I've lived here, it has always felt temporary. This is really messing with my head, people! 

Disclaimer: I really do love Dallas and Texas. Those 18 years have been the best of my life, hands down, but still. WEIRD realization. I AM NOT NOR WILL I EVER BE A DALLASITE. Major identity crisis here. heh.

Not a Dallasite? We'll keep you though. I have lived in Texas my entire life... but someday I hope to be a Texas in another state or country! And now I'm off to sing some Lyle Lovett... "That's right you're not from Texas, but Texas wants you anyway."

I've lived in California my entire life, but the East has been drawing me ever since I was a little girl and we almost moved to my dad's home state of Pennsylvania. This is part of the reason why we are making the big move this Summer. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to find out if that is where I needed to be. Where do you think you should be?

I feel like I should be in Florida. Maybe not S. Florida but Florida. I need beach! Though, I fell in love with NoCal. Particularly Napa and Monterrey. I could also totally live in Paris or Spain. :)
