the way my thumb keeps pressing 'recenter' on the GPS, even when i know exactly where i'm going for the hundredth time this week, it's just a habit now, a little comfort in the constant navigation you know? and i was thinking about it, about how that feels like home in a way, this endless recalibration, always figuring out the next turn and the next, and it used to be so draining, like my throat would ache from the sheer effort of trying to catch up to myself, but now it’s just… part of the rhythm, and when someone asks where i'm from, my mouth feels a little too big for the words, like it’s holding a whole landscape of possibilities that don’t quite fit into a simple answer yet, but there's no panic now, just a sort of wide-open anticipation, knowing that 'from' isn’t a place anymore, it’s a process, and maybe that’s the real journey anyway.
