I have lived in 3 different places in the Midwest. I have traveled to Europe once, traveled extensively around the Midwest, and have been to several places across the US. I'm from Chicago originally, suburbs of course, and it was a pretty great life. Now, I am a permanent resident of a college town in a state 99% of people deride as being just corn fields. However, I got to handle several exceptional rare books a couple weeks ago. My family's home is well-made, both functionally and aesthetically. After my classes, I take a walk by the river and take pictures sometimes for my photographic commonplace book. I study Classics, and while I've had my fantasies about living in a different time and place, I honestly believe that there is no better way to live than a life lived in the Midwest. Maybe, I'm wrong. Maybe, I will find a good home elsewhere. But I am nonetheless happy and content here.
