Home: The death of a Nomad

Home: The death of a Nomad -

When I decided to move to New York City, I had this vision of what would happen: I would move to down in my own amazing apartment, decorate it with lots of cool stuff, a gym, take cooking classes to participate, and - between all that - take numerous trips to JFK and jet set airport around the world. I would come back to stay for a few weeks, and all over again

I was able my twin would demand the score to be .. sedentary and my love of travel

But I was naive.

Here, since moving in January, I have never been able to spend more than a few weeks in New York City, before they leave again. When I moved into my own apartment in July, I left the next day. I came back for a week before two months leave.

I never sedentary.

I never took this cooking classes.

I never got the gym.

still bare on a bookshelf, with My apartment is longing curtainless window, books and walls Art and Painting missing

The famous -. and much to be desired - the end never really materialized on my travels, I have spent much of the last year on the road.

"I thought you down slow," people would say to me.

"I'm trying. I'm trying," I reply would.

No matter how hard I tried, seemed never happen slowing. However, there were many false starts.

But in the past month, while in Europe, I began to feel homesick. I was tired from traveling and wanted to just be in my bed comfortably at home.

I realized I was tired to delay my roots.

Roots, finally can only take hold if they "returned to the ground. I have tried to develop habits and routines without my roots time to grow. I think they uproot and then they will grow to try to replant hoping.

But it does not work in this way.

you need to till the earth, the seed and let it take hold the roots.

you can not tear

it's time I give my roots a chance

I'm tired of saying.. "OK, I will next time. "So I'm not up to the end of December on the go, when I go to the Philippines. There are a lot in New York to do, and it's finally time to do it.

I purposely my schedule filled with things have that keep me in town. This week I joined a gym, got a trainer, and a desk paid at a co-working space. I have friends to visit.

I am here. I am at home.

It's time to grow some roots.

Nothing will stop me now.
