It took me leaving my dad's house to realize home is where I make it. and to appreciate all the things I've gotten to see during all those moves. I don't feel as suffocated in the burbs out in good ol' KS I moved a LOT as a kid, so it was always hard for me to get comftorable and feel at home.

Now your adventures are all yours. You don't have to share them. Life is so much better when its not so cookie cutter. I think it is so wonderful that you took the road less traveled.

It never occurred to me that could happen, but I’m glad I’ve found somewhere that works now & I hope you have too!

And I'm sure wherever I end up ultimately will be somewhere I consider home too. I hope. :) It’s funny - even though I lived in the same house in the same town until i was 23 and have only lived in two places since, i totally believe that the idea of home is pretty portable - because I consider the room in the flatshare I have stayed for five years now my home more than the house I grew up in.
