Best of both?

Since I've been home I've struggled quite a bit with coming to terms with myself and being back home. I often feel that as a recent college graduate I shouldn't be coming back home to move in with my parents. I feel though its a step backwards, instead of moving forward. I miss DC so much. I miss everything! My friends, the cafes, the Potomac, Georgetown, Georgetown Cupcake, and all my favorite food places. Yet, I find myself in a happy place being home, because it means I'm closer to East Los and everything that I love about my cultura. I get to attend these amazing free cultural shows in Downttown (yes, I also went to those in DC) and get to eat my favorite food. It's also so nice to be back home with the familia and enjoy the simple things. Could it be possible that I have been fortunate enough to embrace the best of both worlds? My own heritage and the heritage that I have acquired while being away at school?
