Chicago. The first place that really felt like home.
Retracing old steps in Chicago this week has forced me to traverse bittersweet nostalgia. I wasn’t excited to move here years ago, but now this city means so much to me. It brought back waves of memories of times spent and growth experienced. It also brought a sense of desperate longing to pause time.

I sorely underestimated New Orleans. My friend Connie and I spent four and a half days there last week. While we had both been there separately in the past on shorter trips, this was the first time we had come to truly take it in, and this town is way more than beignets and crawfish.
