Everyone has a hometown. A point of origin, so to speak. Some remain there for the duration of their life, while others need to branch out and maybe try somewhere new. But what exactly is it that determines the destination someone calls home. People relocate for jobs, climate, significant others and even friends.

What in the heck does it mean to be present? I can physically be somewhere and not be present. Let me retrack that statement. I USED to be able to be somewhere and not be present.
