I now view them as traveling to some other city I love. I am not sure what has changed, but I think it is because my sense of community is now really strong in my current residence. That helps a lot. PS...i am likely applying to internships next year in Atlanta. I have found a really really great one.

Really hard. It gets easier as you grow away from people, but that has it's own sadness. I wouldn't give up moving away, but going back doesn't get easier. I think it stays pretty darn hard.
