Home Again
For the holiday season I came back home to Los Angeles
California. Being home is a bitter sweet experience for me. Don’t get me wrong
it’s great to be home again but sometimes being home sets in an unproductive
attitude for me. I believe I’ve been away from home for so long now that I am
at my best when I am away. Plus I have not been home since March 2013 and being
home again reminds me of why I left in the first place…to pursue more economic
opportunity and attain employment. The optimist in me reminds me that Los
Angeles is not a bad place and people can prosper here. But my spirit tells me
this is not the place I am supposed to be right now. Now that my journey has
come full circle and I am home still seeking employment I’ve learned your
journey is what you make of it. And that going home does not mean that you have
failed. Some of us feel at our best at home in the comforting confides of our
parents home. But for others we thrive and feel stronger out in the world
working towards our ambitions. So I continue this journey in believing it’s
okay to go home and recharge even though it’s not the place you want to be
right now, perhaps it’s the place you need to be to get you to the place you
want to be. I’m Home Again.
