Your writing is SO beautiful. This line did it for me:

Sometimes, I find myself running errands that don’t exist, driving down streets aimlessly, in the opposite direction of where I need to be. I think I’m searching for something — maybe a place where I still exist.

I identify so heavily with searching for pieces of myself in my hometown. It's weird leaving a place behind while also (maybe secretly) hoping that the place hasn't left you behind, too.

a concept i’ve been thinking a lot about lately is needing to leave to be able to return to things, and i think you captured that beautifully 💕
