All tagged family history
Yesterday my best friend in Nashviille said "You're in your happy place." It was a message on my insta stories where I've been documenting my trip home to Cali. Anyone who's close to me knows this is basically Christmas. I'm my happiest here. Not because I'm not happy I'm Nashville, but because home is where I grew up. Where I was born. Where my sister and brothers were born. And home is where mom and dad still are.
When I was a child I always recognized the tight knit family dynamic I was living in. It was always vivid in color. Like a rainbow in a child's picture book. All the colors, all the feels, all my childhood. And as the years have gone by, I've still seen this dynamic in all it's glorious color, just not as often. You see, I fled the nest, moved South and never came back. So the color is still bright, just not shining directly in my face everyday. But a phone call, a visit and or a face time can bring me right back. Or in the case of yesterday, grief.
