No Direction Home


Since moving to the mid-west from the east coast just a couple of weeks ago, I noticed two things: 1. Streets, neighborhoods, and east/west/north/south directions are easy to comprehend by looking at a map, and 2. I have never been more lost in my life. (Disclaimer: I am a believer in signs, even though my more logical partner in crime {read: bf} is an avid realist. Thus, I tend to keep these things to myself. Related post to follow. There are, seemingly, no hills, no North Star, no geographical indicators of how to find home or anything else for that matter. Everything is numbers and directions. In the heat of mid-day, I want nothing less than to add and subtract the wandering I've done to find my direction home...maybe this is a realist's paradise.
