The trip back here was long and felt like I was going in the wrong direction.

I originally went to Phoenix with the intent to figure out once and for all whether  sarmanikan and I could work as a couple in person. I was nervous about what her family and friends would think of me, I was nervous about visiting her workplace and having all these people that didn't know me sizing me up or whatever... XD

Pretty much nervous for nothing. I've come home feeling like I've left my heart behind in Phoenix (amongst other things...  narse, I'm pretty sure you now own a couple pairs of my socks!). I've made some new friends amongst the  baddragon crew, and I can easily say that I haven't felt more welcomed and emotionally centered anywhere else for a very long time. My only regret was having to get back on a plane after ten days.

I miss you, dearest.
