Its been more than four years since ive been to Lithonia Ga, my second home. There are just so many things i miss about. there isnt a day that goes by that i dont about her. i cant wait til i can run into her arms and embrace her the way she embrace me in the short time ive know her.
What do i miss most? I dont know, everything, i miss walking outside for 2 seconds and feeling like ive been sweating for 2 hours because of the humidity. I miss your riduculous green scenery, and how no matter where you go, its looks like thats where they shot the blair witch project. i miss how you can get loss quicker than a child with a A.D.D. in either the woods, or the freeway. i miss your lack of sidewalks and the fact that if you didnt have a car, dont buy white shoes. i miss wearing bags over my new shoes so i dont get red clay on them.
i miss your redunkulously predictable weather, like your thunderstorms, your REAL thunderstorms, not these pussy thunderstorms out here. i miss the smell of the rain as they dripp down from the treetops like a noodle drainer. i miss your non-diversity, your wanna be thugs and gangbangers, wanna be pimps at what not.
but the thing i miss most, yes more than walking down the street for 10 minutes before you get to your 1st and probably only neighbor. even more than memorial drive clubs, and memorial drive shootings after the clubs. is my friends. no matter where you are, its not the same if you dont have friends to enjoy life with. none of these things i would miss if i didnt have friends to help enjoy these things. in fact, if i didnt have friends there, i would say f*** it and good rittens(?)Dont get me wrong, its not that i dont enjoy the friends i have here, because i do. if i didnt i would be doing everything i can to move back, or move to somehwere where i can make friends. but i grew up with those guys. i didnt grow up with the friends i have now. i had a lot of my 1st there. and my friends have known each much longer so they have history, which can at times make me feel outta place. but i just gotta make new memories with them.
so Georgia, more than what makes up you, i miss your inhabitants, you guys will always be in my heart, i miss you, til the next time i see you guys.
