There's Never Really a Reason

I've been back in the states now for over a month...moved into a new apartment, finding a job, getting back into the swing of things...
There was no reverse culture shock, or pain and sadness that i had to go home. In fact, it was as thought I'd never really left. Home is home...not much has changed, and where, before, experiencing new places led me to a lot of internal growth and change...traveling now doesn't create the same impression on me. Don't get me wrong, I had 5 months to think about the person I want to be and the life I want to live, in beautiful, unique locales, with kind and interesting people around me...but getting older means you have to work harder to find surprise and novelty in your environment...
