Thank You For Nothing
I have indeed enjoyed the positive coverage of "Thank You, Next," as pop culture did need to be reminded that ex's can often serve as lessons and inspiration. Too often we've been taught to see ex's as mistakes or dead ends. Plenty of people could bless us and yet not be the one for us. And nostalgia can be a healthy drug. Why burn bridges out of spite? That's more the actions of an immature person than an adult.
But sometimes there is no meaningfulness to something. This is now my fifth year in Pennsylvania. I'm 95% sure I'll be living elsewhere by summer of 2019. And what's true (and sad) is, once I'll leave, I'll probably never come back. There's not really anyone or anything to come back for here. No, I did make some acquaintance friends, and found nice places to hang out at: I'm not angry or bitter. But there's just no reason to be sentimental about this area, and this is coming from someone who loves to be a sentimental slob.

Heh, I can't remember the last time I checked into Xanga... but here I am!
I used to think a lot about my past mistakes (like some people I knew and the things I've done) but now I'm trying my best to see those times as learning experiences and try to see how far I've come from them. It's tough, because I tend to think the worst of myself and forgiving myself has been difficult.
Ah, Pennsylvania. I look at my college years there as "meh" at best. I ultimately didn't become close with anyone and didn't really keep friends past a year after college. And I got lost a lot while driving in PA. What the most tragic thing of living in PA was that I couldn't buy beer or wine in a grocery store or Walmart... when I can do that here in Ohio hahaha
I hope that your new city-home will be a better fit for you!
