I said: > I don't really understand the need you said: > you seem to believe that I should want what you want There's a disconnect there where you're reading a lot into what I said. Granted, my comment was terse. Here's more detail of what I was thinking when I wrote that: """ People (myself included) fantasize about living all over the place. But, since I (a person in my late 20s) have learned more about myself, I've started to appreciate simplicity, continuity, and roots (which I had to work really hard to create, after a very complex personal history that I won't get into here). Because I have experienced this personal shift and really valued it, I've started to think that the desire to live in many different places is mostly mimetic, and that if I pursued this, I would not be able to have the things that I have achieved in the last 5 years. Therefore I don't understand why this notion is so widespread or how it got into my head (but it's probably through mimesis of the novel). """ By all means, you do you. I'm jealous that you have found something that is really working out for you, and my comments are coming from a place of curiousity and the need to work out what I desire. I'm sorry to have failed to come across in any other way.
