Back in the windy city

I'm back from my trip to Auckland and I had an amazing time. I would write more, but I am making plans to meet some people up for breakfast and need to shower if they follow through.
I'll make a quick note:

Travelling gives me a lot of time to think and reflect on things in quiet solitude. Whether it was sitting in the backseat of our rental looking at the grassy landscape of NZ or flying, I was in a very pensive and somber state for a good amount of my trip. I did have a lot of fun and I was really happy to be with Henry and his friend Ben, but for some reason I was thrown into this state of deep thought. I thought about a lot of different things but mostly I realized two things. One was that horse riding is something that I miss deeply. To my core I miss it and whenever I see a horse my whole body aches in a way to ride again. I found myself lost in thought over Tecca and the feel of riding a horse. The other thing I realized was that, despite a stubborn outlook of not getting homesick, I really do miss being home and I miss the people that I've left behind. I'm not pining for home, but I realized that I missed it. I'm happy where I am and going to Auckland made me see that Wellington is the perfect city for me. But, I still miss home, I miss my cats, my family, Tecca, my friends, and Nick.

I'll write more later but as of now I think I may be late for breakfast.
