Catching the Raleigh blues

Question/Recommendation

I'm a Raleigh kid: born at Rex, WCPSS student K-12, NC State grad, now live near downtown. I love my hometown, but I've been feeling a bit apathetic about it lately. And It's not a huge problem. I have my routines and places to go, a loving friend group, and a stable job. But I've been away on an extended trip for work, and was surprised to find that I don't miss it at all. Thinking of flying home next week actually makes me kind of sad. Maybe even a little resentful for some reason. I feel kind of ashamed for typing that. Yeesh.

I'm not trying to vent or anything, but wanted to hear from anyone who has ever felt the same. What did you end up doing with these feelings?
