"Thank you for the ride." I smile at the bus driver as I step out of the bus and looked at my town after a year. This is the town I grew up in and this is the town I owe everything to. I was ready for today to be sentimental but I didn't prepare for how emotional it can be. The familiar sights, sounds, and smells are bringing back a flood of memories and reminding me of the people and experiences that have shaped my life. And even though I was a bit overwhelmed, I couldn't deny the allure of this town after the bland metropolitan city.
