Simultaneity

It's funny how at the most mundane moments you get a sense of opposing feelings almost simultaneously. For instance, I was just going through the drive-thru of a fine Mexican food establishment (Taco Bell), and I felt like I really belonged in Lafayette for a moment because I was running to the border and I knew exactly where it was and how the streets curve to get there. Then I unrolled my window to give my order, and this crisp air rushed in at me and I longed to be out Christmas shopping at Fashion Place Mall with Kylie or Izzy. Just as soon as I felt familiar in one place, I was homesick for another. That seems to be a routine process in my life. I guess, if I really think about it, it's not simultaneous; it just happens so quickly. The space in between is so brief that it hardly exists. Sometimes I wonder if my peace of mind is in that inbetween place.
