You're always going to miss your roots, just like anything else, but thats not a reason to stay put in the same place all your life, whats the point of that? what new experiences will you ever have then? What new people would you meet? Life would just blurr into one long period of the same routine, futile methinks!!!
Its all about getting out there, living in different places, cultures, climates etc imo, gathering as many experiences as poss, I want to keep moving around all my life, i'd hate to put a block on myself like my parents & mortgage a house with the mind set that this is where i'm going to live & die end of story, BORING!!
But yeah, theres no place like home, or rather, your parents house
Life is what you make of it though, and there are many ways to experience things in life without having to permanently move for long periods. Love, laughter, pain, happiness, fulfilment, pride, sense of good citizenship, or whatever facets of life.
Some people go out there kind of looking for things, looking for things to tell them that they have found thier lives, and they sort of push from one thing to another always onto the next thing cos
thats the thing thats going to make them happy and content and define a new era......then they get there (geographically or mentally) and after a whort while they find its actually something else they desire, and go off to do that.....and just continue doing that forever.
Other people may have discovered that to be happy, content and fulfil your desires and sense of belonging to this world, its about finding the real things in life which matter that are already there under your nose, and cherishing them.
Until you become aware that theres not always something 'out there' somewhere to experience to make you feel whole, and that its already in your heart and can be with your present circumstances if you just stop to look at things once in a while, then I feel that some people will never be settled with themselves.
You cant take experiences with you, just like money, when you die - all you can say is that youve lived a good life, been good, been loved and given love, enjoyed yourself, and theres many ways to achieve this feeling without being a nomad, its just down to perception.
Staying in one place is boring, I fully agree, and I wouldnt want to do that either. I may return to here where I live (circumstances and local situation permitting) after I have been somewhere else, and thats all I meant before, returning to the place you feel most at home, even though youve 'been there and done that' before.
