Maybe I'll just leave them in my head for later and enjoy the beautiful day we have outside....
No you say?! Well then, where do I begin?
Life in Minnesota. It's very true - that there seems to some sort of inner conflict between your adult self and the place where you grew up. My Guardian self and Vulnerable self are at it's peak leaving my Regular True self still living in my warm, cozy, and safe apartment back in Colorado.
That is where I had one of my many epiphanies - driving through Denver one chilly morning, racing to get back to Fort Collins... Ahhh... How I long for Fort Collins... I even miss Loveland of all places. Purple mountains majesty for your whole eye to behold, not to mention the amber waves of grain. Colorado is where I also found another missing piece of my patriotism towards America. I truly felt that I was living in the heart of America and all of those other John Denver songs... a place in my heart that I secretly call my home.
[Side note: Geographically speaking, Fort Collins is located at Latitude: 40° 38' 26" N, Longitude: 105° 6' 19" W and physiographically part of the Southern Rocky Mountains province (which are the younger of the rockies).]
and as I'm driving north towards my little mountain town, I discovered the clarity and serenity of an unhindered Self for the first time ever.
What happened you ask?
We weave the story of our lives... You could never imagine some of the things you would be willing to do when confronted with a situation. You just end up handling it the best way you know how, right?! Ahh... so much to say and so little time - I feel like I'm totally leaving you all hanging.
Until the next time.

p.s. My physical self has been many places since my little apartment in northern CO and here I am living and breathing in central Minnesota. In my opinion, MN lacks cultural liberalism...
In lovely Colorado:
