Snapshot of Chicago

So I went to Chicago this week, and let me tell you it's about the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. It's were I belong, I think. Not Chicago in specific, but a large city. As soon as we could start to see the city, I brightened up. I was happy there; I didn't even need a reason to be happy. I just was. It's really hard to explain how at home I felt there. So many people were afraid of being mugged or something. But not me; it didn't seem to frighten me. The traffic bothered so many people, especially when we were shopping. But not me; it felt normal, right. I think it was the best experience of my life so far. Best place I've ever been.
And the people I was with made it that much better. Name, Jimmy. Even though I've known Jimmy for a long time, he just really popped into my life Thursday. And God I'm glad he did. I don't know how, but he makes me really happy and he knows how to make me laugh. I mean, I've only really actually been friends with the guy two days or so, but it sucks to not have him around anymore. And I know things might not be the same anymore... and that makes me sad. I want to go back sooo bad. Things were better there. Just thinking about it makes me feel better. I felt warm and wanted there. Here, it's different. I don't feel warm and wanted; it's more like cold and unwelcomed.
But I loved my trip. I know I'll go back, take someone I love with me and show them the things that make a big city like that more wonderful than they can see. I dont know... I loved my trip. I loved who I was there with. I loved the feeling of being there. I love Chicago!
