I guess I do. I've never been given a reason to dislike this place, and I've done the best I can to make a life here, I'm grateful for the friends I've made and what I've managed to accomplish with my team, but...it's not my home. It's selfish to say, but I really would rather be home with my friends and doing my duties.
