I want to share something that I found on wizardacademy.com. I have been thinking of returning to my home town with my new family but the closer I get to home the more I see that I no longer fit in. I thought this was funny because I just so happen to come across this quote from John Steinbeck and found that even though times change and people change the issues are relatively the same.
I hope you enjoy.
"My town had grown and changed and my friend along with it. Now returning, as changed to my friend as my town was to me, I distorted his picture, muddied his memory. When I went away I had died, and so became fixed and unchangeable. My return caused only confusion and uneasiness. Although they could not say it, my old friends wanted me gone so that I could take my proper place in the pattern of remembrance - and I wanted to go for the same reason."- John Steinbeck in Travels With Charley
