I am at home in DC, at the college I attended. I went to visit last spring just when the cherry blossoms were coming out and drove into DC on Rock Creek Parkway— the most majestic moment is when you drive on one certain curve and all the trees give away to a view of the Monument area surrounded by cherry blossoms across a river. It took my breath away and I got all-all-all excited about being home. I feel extremely safe, happy and alive in DC- totally illogical I know!
The second place would be on Lookout Mountain in Alabama. I have the same safe, happy and alive feeling when I’m there.
I lived in 25 places by the time I was 25, lived in 7 states and have moved 8 times in the past 12 years. I have liked places, or things about different places but nothing like DC or NE Alabama.
