okay so heres a life update...
I visited my mom in wisconsin. LOVED IT. I loved being so close to her, the weather was *perfect* (although apparently its not that perfect so many days in a row). My mom works in one of the cities I was open to living in... and I loved it. I liked the atmosphere, the people were friendly, there were shops and the downtown area was charming. I would have to look for nature parks, but Wisconsin is big on outdoors.
despite all this... I am still feeling Cleveland. So i'll be visiting cleveland later this year to really compare.
however... I met someone there. Someone who I have known from a few years ago. Someone I had a crush on but I was seeing someone and they were seeing my best friend, so i never acknowledged it at all (especially cuz i thought i would be marrying my boyfriend). When they split with my best friend I thought I would NEVER see them again, like ever. So when i would talk to my friends about my "type" i really was just describing this person, as like the star example.
well. Somehow the world is smaller than i realized and they happened to be in wisonsin and met up with me and my mom for lunch. Honestly.. the spark is still there, if not it was stronger cuz i'm single and they are no longer my with my best friend. However... still my best friend's ex. So that kept me from saying anything. But wow.
It was still amazing to see them though.. if you remove my crush from the equation, i still got to see someone i used to be good friends with who i didn't think I would ever see again. It also means that when I move up there (still thinking Cleveland) I will have a friend that I can hang out with whenever I take trips to milwaukee. It makes me feel better about moving up north.
