Is it possible to claim two hometowns? “Where are you from?” is a good question that is always thrown around. I am originally from a city where most people tend to mispronounce the name or ask “where’s that?” so my most typical response is “it’s about 20 minutes from Boston” to save emptiness chatter.

The Story of the Valley
1. None of this was her idea. The California clan is not trustworthy. The whole family is questionable, especially the Southern ones. They create fairytale princesses who never grow up into women. They perfect make-believe movie stars built of real people who are frequently suicidal and anorexic. They cheat you out of dreams you haven’t even had yet. They’re practically vampires. They cash in people’s futures for fifteen minutes of fame or one good hit. They can devour the strong as well as the weak, but they prefer the lucky.

New Orleans, I Love You
I never knew it was possible to fall in love with a place like you fall in love with a person. I ended up there randomly. With my college decision due the next day, my mother and I drove from my hometown of Richmond, VA, all the way to New Orleans. 16 hours, nonstop. The trip was a spur-of-the-moment decision and required my grandmother to come stay with my siblings while we went on our adventure. "I don't want you to have any regrets," my mother had said, "so we're going to explore every single option." We didn't have money to break up the trip and stay at a hotel, so we showed up to the city in the same clothes we left in, bleary eyed but excited.
