Where I'm From
I am from cozy log cabins and wood stoves
  Sleeping beside the warm fireplace in the winter
  Running through the woods and sitting on dirt piles
  My legs always scraped and bruised
  I am from old DVDs and VCRs
  Sitting on the couch all day as lazy as a sloth
  Watching the same movies over and over
  Dad yelling at me to go outside
  I am from sitting on top of the record player
  Listening to Abba and drinking milk out of a honey bear container
  Hoping it would be one of the special nights where me and my dad would stay up late to watch Looney Tunes
  Sneaking to get snacks after my bedtime
  I am from maple syrup season
  Early February tapping the trees
  Running through the woods collecting bags of sap
  Watching my dad boil it into delicious syrup
  I am from going on vacations with my mom
  Planning it as we go, traveling from place to place
  Getting our nails done and making so many inside jokes
  Never wanting to go back home
