Loved this sweet essay Alex! The normalization of living far from home is bonkers, and I say that as someone who has also Moved Away. I agree we can’t really be whole living this way and it’s good to acknowledge this. Feeling the emptiness is the next best thing.
I’d like my tombstone to say “She loved everything.” This is not yet true but I hope it is by the time I die!
