Two statements I’ve thought about much of my adult life having spent the first half of my life in Texas and this second half in Louisiana. To a fault, I dwell on past mistakes, regrets, and missed opportunities. Recently I’ve tried to be more intentional and committed to the present. It takes work. Work I’m now committed to on a daily basis.
I think of places like BTR for example and people have such a sense of connection to it. I know that a lot of this is part and parcel family and friends who've stayed in the same place forever.
I grew up an only child and my dad was an only child and my mom's only brother was 1000 miles away and they weren't terribly close, so that piece was never a part of my life.
It’s all interesting in how it affects who we think we are and what we think we want/need. It leaves gaps that may or MAY NOT need to be filled.
You are not from anywhere.
You do not belong.
