"Viroqua is...Viroqua. It's cute and summer-y and very green. It is quiet and I love it, but. It feels terribly small. I feel stuck. I know for a fact that I am made for bigger things than this little town. I yearn to see places I have never known, I need adventure on a grand scale. I want things to be blown out of proportion, I want the dramatic and the crazy and the messy beautiful. I need to experience life as it is, uncut and real and raw. This town is a beautiful place to grow up, and maybe it's the place to grow old, but it's not made for my life in-between. It's a bookend town, the two perfect, sweet bookends on a life."
The above paragraph is an excerpt from a letter that I sent to a friend of mine. This part I chose is the edited and orderly version of this crazy wanderlust I have been feeling lately. I finally took the time to sit down and put that feeling into words and this is what was born. A new term: Bookend Town.
