Humans are born with the desire to roam the earth. We crawl, then walk, then run. All in an effort to move further away from where we came from: from home. I know firsthand the thrill of what changing ones surroundings can do for ones heart. And now I also know that staying home and letting others go can be it’s own fantastic journey. Because when you let go of something, you make room for something else entirely, something you never expected. Something that makes home seem like it’s own unexpected adventure. A trip where new treasures are found around every old corner. Where the world, in all it’s complexities, come right to your doorstep. Because in the end, the power is not just with those who go away, but also in what they leave behind.
