If I were to ask you, “where’s home?”, what would you say? It’s much easier to say “I’m from a place” or “I grew up in a place,” but home isn’t always the same place as where you grew up.

As the world grows more transient, home becomes a harder place to identify. Families moving every couple of years lose a sense of place, and worse, their kids lose part of their identity. It becomes difficult for them to even say where they grew up. Another bi-product of being transient is kids grow up learning that the relationships they make rarely last. They will be starting over in a few years anyway. This can even creep in for adults, especially those who tend to be more introverted.
