I'm sitting in this cafe. My cafe. It's funny how places that start off being just somewhere you walk by on your way to somewhere else can become your place. Yeah, they're a public space, but these places no matter how small and unimportant they start off being are the places that make up your life. Moving to Chicago and creating a life here has taken me a lot of time, and the funny thing is, when the time comes and I finally have all "my places" it will probably be time for me to move on again. That's kind of sad in a way but also really amazing to have the chance to do it all again in a another new city. And no matter what happens and no matter where life takes me, this cafe will always be my place. Some day when I look back and think about those years when I lived in Chicago, seemingly little things like a cafe along a busy street will be the things I look back on and think, "Damn, life is good."
