Great story! I often wonder the same. I think after a while the novelty does wear off and we go looking for that change of scenery. I don’t think it even really matters what kind of scenery it is. Just the fact that it’s different. Maybe we’re bored with the mediocrity. Perhaps we’re too stressed with life’s harsh realities. It’s part of the reason I write. It’s an escape. It’s my change of scenery.
Thank for leaving such a thoughtful comment Makenna! The grass is always greener, right? And absolutely, writing is also my escape/change of scenery. You're definitely not alone on that one.
A fascinating tale of home as a place you belong rather than the place you feel most comfortable. Since my youth I've never had the first and was never given a choice to the latter. Moved every year until my thirties. I've noticed quite a difference between growing up in one spot and not --in people's lives. Different priorities, different observations, different attachments. I know that's not exactly what your work expounds on--but the one way ticket at the end is how my life has gone--and I don't regret it. Yakoke for such a moving tribute to non-attachment and freedom.
