It's said that you don't truly appreciate something until it's taken away from you. This summer I've been discovering the other side of that phrase: you appreciate things a lot once you have them back. I will never look either public transportation or driving around the same again, and always get a huge burst of happiness when the Texas sun hits my face. I've even learned to appreciate things that Germany does better than the US. Both when I left and returned, there were things that improved and things that got worse. But in either case I've realized something else, even if I prefer a detail or two more in Europe, Texas is my home. I hope to travel again in the future to share that experience with more people, but at the end of the day this is where I belong.
