A Nomad in the Desert
I always knew that I would be home where ever I was but I never knew home could feel so desolate. I love the desert wildlife and the cacti blooming in after a rain. I love the variety of birds and lizards. But I never knew you could have a home and still feel homeless.
Some of this has to do with life events that have caused me to move twice within the past year. Now I find myself needing to move again. Not a desperate push out the door but needing to get a place all the same. I feel like every time I start to get comfortable and think I've finally found home, I have to pick up and go out again.
Each time is harder than the last. East time I lose more of my stuff, more memories and more people I have grown to love. I feel like I will be a nomad for the rest of my days. I will never belong or fit in. It is how it has always been in my heart but now my life reflects that.
