So, I've been home for the better part of a week now and I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of being back. This is what I got so far.
Pros of being home:
Burritos
Pizza
Salad
Tartine Bakery
Good food in general
My friends
My sister
My parents
San Francisco
Free rent (for the time being)
TV shows like Tool Academy and No Reservations
Not having to wear a backpacking backpack
Conditioner and good bath products in general
A closet full of clothes
My brown boots
Clean laundry
Cons:
Living with mom and dad and NOT in San Francisco
Driving
bored out of my mind
I miss traveling daily
completely broke
no job
no job prospects
shitty economy
everything is expensive
Daily pangs of sadness for Asia--wishing I was there
It's freezing
My tan has dissapeared
There's no awesome beach
Looking for jobs makes me want to shoot myself on a daily basis
I have to wear makeup again
I have no excuse to not shower
No excuse to wear my really ugly hippie pants
No cute boys with various accents
NO BUCKETS
depressed because of all of the above
BLAH
Ok, let's be honest. This pro and con list is stupid. We all know I would rather be traveling. That being said, home is home. Its comforting, I have lots of amazing friends and an amazing family, and I will always cherish it. But a part of me, may not be ready to be at home quite yet. I still have too much adventure left in me and at least I can admit it.
