i heart kc

though i will not be leaving kansas for my college education (i will be going to jccc and then most likely to ku) i might be leaving later in life. when i was younger, i used to really hate kansas. i thought it was too quiet and boring and there was nothing special about it to me. i always dreamed of moving to literally any other state. in the past few years, i've really come to appreciate kansas. i love how quiet it is, especially the fact that it's blessed with such little traffic. i think we have a pretty great community. we're always able to come together in times of sadness (such as the walk and all the events held for reat) as well as times of celebration (like the royals parade). some of my favorite places include prairie fire, all out adorable little shopping centers, the sunflower fields, and the warehouse. some of my favorite memories were when i was with my friends in the middle of the night in the summer, relaxing on the top floor of the parking garage in prairie fire. i know that no matter where i go, kansas will always hold a special place in my heart.
