So that leaves me with what do I do in September when my contract is up. I want to stay in Germany because I enjoy my life for the most part, I mean my job is easy and I'm around awesome people. However I wouldn't mind being back in Chicago so I can get back to working in a restaurant but there is a lot of stress with being in Chicago. I think today I feel like trying to get a job with Ringling Bros. and then going back to Germany. I don't know if that is possible but it is a conversation to be had when I get back. I do know one thing I don't think I will end up back in Chicago unless I have no other option. But I guess we will see what happens.
So I came home two weeks ago. I has been an interesting two weeks and a few things have come to my attention. What makes a place your home? To quote a great movie "Home is where you rump rest!" (ten points to anyone who can name the movie). It feels weird to me to be back it doesn't feel like home to me any more. Sure I know the streets I know to area I grew up here but it is weird to call it home. Rappenhof feels more like home to me then anywhere it feels like where I belong. But the problem still remains that I have people in both places that I don't want to leave behind. A friend of mine recently posted a meme that said, "You will never be completely home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more then one place." And that is very true for me there are friends that I have in Chicago that I hate to leave behind and there are people in Germany I can't imagine my life without.
