away from home
Emily Oster
I stumbled upon this old episode of This American Life the other day and found it to be really interesting. In three segments, the show presents stories of "people going home to places they've never been". I have been formulating this idea for a while now that finding your home whether it be the place you grew up or someplace you have never been is much like finding your partner in life. It can be someone or someplace that is familiar or maybe just feels familiar but either way there is this sense of knowing that you are home. This episode plays into this concept and is definitely worth the listen.
