Sitting in a friend’s apartment with my suitcases and my laptop I realize that after all of the years of moving from place to place not knowing where I should settle down is beginning to cost me a lot of stress.
Going from theater to theater, from town to town is great for a while, but at some point I am going to have to stop moving.
Home, what is a home worth?
It is worth a lot and you see it the longer you live.
The thing is, it is difficult to build up anything when you are moving every 2-5 years. You are renting and not building any equity and the stuff you need changes from place to place making it necessary to always be buying stuff for the same purpose over and over again.
Your friends change and really, you begin to see that no matter where you go it is all pretty much the same, and so are you.
The familiarity of being in one place for a long time is nice, but I haven’t really known it over 5 years.
I need to put a stake in the ground and say, here I am, this is going to be my home. Right now, no place excites me or interests me too much.
