Suzi--you will be there and your children and your love for each other, and that is the very definition of "home."
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
askye - I am so sorry for your family's loss.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Wednesday I go off to Denver to find a new place to live and I'm terrified it won't be "home".
I'm just going to point upward to what Scrappy said. You aren't looking for a "home"; you're looking for a place to land the home you've already made.

Many sympathies, askye and family.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I've been pretty flexible about where Home is. The place where I feel safe and able to be me. So where ever there is a place for e. In the broader sense CA has taken over CT as my place- but my neighborhood esp. This neighborhood is the first place that has evoked that neighborly feeling - Someone is sick, needs a hand doing a project - I'm more than willing to help. And if I need help I find it almost easy to ask.

askye, much strength and ~ma to you and your family.
My biggest problem with my current place is that it doesn't feel like home, and I move a lot and have always been able to make a place my own quite easily. I really don't see myself being able to hold out for another two years.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I still feel like L.A. is home. I haven't quite settled into it here in Michigan.
It feels like an old suit. It should fit, it seems, but it doesn't and it's vaguely uncomfortable and irritating.
And my family (not Aims and Em) is annoying as hell.

Why do you suppose it is different this time, Megan?

Home - North Beach is definitely home. It's felt more home-like on its own merits than anywhere I have lived, ever. People-wise, a large part of "home" for me is still in Minneapolis. Even though my mom is still in AK, I don't think I've considered that "home" since I was 13 and started travelling on my own. I kind of carry my "home" in my head, but also here, on the board. I know I could go to New York or Dallas or Chicago or Seattle tomorrow and have it feel like home, because I'd be with my tribe.
