the car i miss the plane i miss the monument of Rubert The Bruce i miss the gift shops in Edinburgh the castles the hills the grass i MISS EVERYTHING. i am not even going to proofread this because if i do i will probably start crying. if i need to add more i will. i want to live in Glasgow so goddamn badly just driving through the streets and interacting with everyone makes me so happy. i am never more elated than when i am with my Scottish family. this post was a follow-up to the post i made three summers ago (as of today) in which i made the same sort of list but also i almost forgot to make this post until today, ten months after the trip, when three guys in the psychology class pressured me about my Scottish history. Scotland, i miss you. family, i miss you. wish i lived over there.
