May be surrounded by a million people, I still feel all alone." - Blake Shelton

I want to go home.

Home is where the heart is.

"Home is wherever I'm with you." - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Though I may not be with my love all the time, I'm at home when I'm surrounded by those who love me.  There's just something good about being able to come home and be at peace.  Even if I have a ton of work to do, I can still relax and forget the mess in the world (to an extent). 

Today I was able to see my uncle, aunts, and cousins I haven't seen in months!  We met up at a nice park, rode some paddle boats, threw a football around, and shared many laughs.  It had to have been one of the best days I've had in a while.  At first I was hesitant to go to a park - sounds boring.  But when my family was all there, time flew because we were having so much fun.  My cousins made me promise to drive down and see them this summer.  I'm already planning that long 9 hour trip!  I really am blessed to have such great family even if I don't get to see them often.  Distance doesn't matter when it comes to love and family.  They're still there for you, love you and miss you even when we're separated for months at a time.  That statement stands true for boyfriends, too.  Although you both may be oceans apart, you're still connected and there for each other.  Distance (may) make the heart grow fonder...  I'm able to find peace by knowing that.

According to me, distance is good.
