Quoth Racket_Man View Postthat town was my, if you will, touchstone, my renewal, my safehaven, my decompression chamber and my once a year refuge from my (at times) crazy life.
I basically grew up in New York and New Jersey, moving with my family to Arizona in 1987, at the age of 17.
Whenever I end up in New York or New Jersey, while the places are somewhat familiar, it is still like visiting Someplace Else.
However, whenever I go home to Phoenix, the moment I walk out the doors of Sky Harbor Airport and feel that warm desert air on my face, my soul instantly starts recharging. As I am Home.
Home is where the heart is. Some of my friends will insist that I am from New York or New Jersey. But my heart is in the desert. That is my home. And it always will be. Even when I lived in NY/NJ, it never felt like Home. It was always too cold, I always liked the heat, and it just didn't feel right. I knew I was Home within my first month in Arizona. And no matter what anyone says, that will always be the case.

I may have grown up in Michigan, but Wasilla Alaska is home. It was harder leaving there and the family we found with Station 62 then when I left my childhood home. One day we will return there for good. It's where my daughter was born, and where we want her to grow up.

Quoth Jester View PostI knew I was Home within my first month in Arizona.
I didn't realise so many people had a place like that.
My home is 3 places in Oz. My house where I grew up, my gran's house and my favourite beach. As long as I can be near one of them, I am happy and I can recharge.
If Dublin and Edinburgh weren't so far from my family and best friend, I would probably never leave. Oh and if either country didn't kick me out at the end of the work visa.A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read. - Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
