It's weird how relative a term "home" becomes when you grow up. Home used to be such a concrete word to me, especially since I grew up in pretty much one house until I was 17 or so. Now, it feels like I have no home, or that everywhere could potentially be my home. It's probably the fact that I've lived in 4 different apartments within the last 2 years, combined with me moving to Montreal and it now feeling more like a homey city.

It's also weird how my perceptions have shifted about living in different cities. Before I left my hometown, it seemed like such a big deal, but now I feel like going to live in another city is easy (okay, maybe that's a gross oversimplification - it's not easy because obviously there's lots of challenges, but they are definitely conquerable).

I dunno, I guess today I'm just feeling very adaptable.
