Emma, whether you like it or not, you're stuck here. No matter how far you go. Because the people that made you who you are came from here. No matter how far you go, no matter how much you live, no matter how much you lose yourself, you will always find yourself pulled to rural Chicago, this goddamn oxymoron, because it's part of you, and everyone you love is a part of you. You're making the right choice.

My family. My friends. I grew up here, and everyone around me and every thing around me has sort of, grown with me.

Like, I'm not ready. I mean, no, I guess...I'm not sure I ever will be ready. I know this place can be boring and I know there's more world out there to explore, but...I have attachments here. Like I'm anchored to this place.
