goodbye, chicago

I can't believe that almost exactly two years ago, I had packed up everything I had and I moved to Chicago. Now, all my possessions are back in boxes, but I'm taking back to Ohio so much more than what I had; the people and the experiences that have changed my life for the better. I had a little shindig last night and I finally realized how far I had come and how I'm much more of the person that I want to be (and I'm not 100% sure of who that is just yet, I just know that I'm much closer). This week was full of some of the hardest goodbyes I've ever had to endure. Tomorrow will be the worst- with two of my most favorite people and watching the skyline of Chicago slowly shrink into the horizon. We've had our ups and downs, but the Windy City will forever be my home. I'm not sure I'll return when I get back from London, but something tells me that I will.
