I think eastern North Carolina will always be the place I belong. From day one to the day I left, it just felt right.
With DC, it's not so much a matter of feeling like I belong. It's such a temporary place, almost nobody is a native and about half the population turns over every four to eight years. I think I realized I was de-sensitized to the area when I started noticing tourists. They didn't really stand out the first couple of years.
