Today was my last full day in the Bay Area as part of my two week stint. I'll be heading back to Denver on Saturday. In a way, I'm ready to get back to Denver, back to my house, back to the turtles. It's hard to be in hotels for this long.
It's been a mixed blessing being here. On one hand, there has been a lot of memories here. I met Shruti here, fell in love with her here, had so much fun here. So, sometimes I get annoyed thinking about it. Most of time I get bummed out. When I think of the Bay Area, I remember how much we both wanted to leave and how we looked for a place that suited us both and how Denver was that place where we would find our niche together and where we would grow together as a couple and start our family. I keep thinking to myself that if I moved back, I would feel very defeated. It's almost that I'm being forced into it and leaving something that was going to be much better for me and my family.
On the other hand, being able to hang out with my friends has been quite therapeutic. I got to see most of the friends that I really wanted to spend time with and was able to talk to them about what I went through and what I'm going through now. I spent time with Teji and Priya. Last weekend, I stayed at their place. On Saturday, we had a lazy day doing nothing but looking at a few houses, watching Wall-E, talking over drinks and chaat. Last night, we made some tacos like we used to do in the old days, had a great conversation over a bordeaux, then headed out for a walk to Rivermark for some ice cream. I really appreciate their friendship very much.
I really got a great group of friends here in the Bay Area. And I know that if I were to come back here, I would, at least, have that going for me so it would be easy for me to do so.
