I'm back living in my home town and it feels like home. Some places I have lived, like Toronto, felt like I was existing there but didn't quite know why. I met several friends who remain friends to this day, but I could never get over that, "I am a visitor" feeling.
I also think we have more than one home. Parts of Maine and New Hampshire make me feel like never wanting to leave and I get sad after staying there knowing I have to leave.
But New York!!! In a past life if such a thing exists, I must have lived a lifetime there. Absolutely love it. When I fly into New York on business(especially LaGuardia since it always takes so long to land.The only circling pattern I enjoy) I see the skyline and feel like I am home, even though I am going to a hotel room.
Funny, lived in a condo in Toronto,..it felt like a hotel room. Spend time in any New York hotel room and I feel like I belong there, at home.
