I Ain’t Missing You At All
Dec 17th, 2004 by Ashley
I talk to at least one person in Buffalo everyday. I do miss almost
everything and everyone in Buf. So today I searched wretch blog by
“buffalo”, trying to find something that'll bring back the memories.
Tried to capture the uncatchable scent, a feeling.
Recently I started to wonder if I grow a enormous feeling toward
a place when I stay there long enough, say a year or so, and
when I move to somewhere else, I can't help but missing and beautifying the former place I stayed. It seems that I need a year to fall in love
with a new place. But sometimes this “rule” doesn't apply. In the first few months of my college life,
I can't stop remembering how lovely the days were when I was in senior high. Even now, I still wish I
can turn back time and stay in college forever. Bu then again, these feelings didn't keep me from falling
in love with new places, such as NCTU and Buffalo. So do we get the conclusion that I do hate (well,
don't like) this place?
Yet, I have a special feeling toward SF and Berkeley. That one month was sweet and unforgettable.
I don't perticularly love California. Probably becuz the people here are arrogant, in the way they value
Cali so much. It's funny how European look down upon American, and east coasters look down upon
west coasters. Yes, I am fond of the lovely SF city, but I'm still a proud western new yorker.
Well, I guess I'm just being proud ._.
