you ever get the feeling?

I was walking down the street today, and I just became overwhelmed with inspiration. You ever get the feeling that you just...belong somewhere? Like you have an unexplainable, other-worldly connection from another life and time. I feel a little odd even saying this, but I'm pretty sure that's how I feel about being back in Chicago. Sure, we've had our fights in the past, but we've matured since then. We've grown. We've changed. Things will be different this time around. This time around, we're going to do things the right way. We'll take it slowly and appreciate what the other has to offer. We'll feel each other out and listen to what the other has to say. This time around I see her differently...she's somehow changed. Everything about the city is appealing to me now. I'm not worried about being cramped in small subway cars with a hundred other people. The traffic filled, pothole infested streets aren't really so bad once you get a feel for them. I find myself enjoying waking up to the sounds of the city now. I actually think that I'm even okay with the R.O.U.Ses that I encounter from time to time. I now can appreciate knowing that there are very few places in the world that possess the culture, the energy and the...food that this city has to offer. So I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my love to you, Chicago. Sorry I ever left... -ja
