posts overflowing like whoa

I feel like I have had too much to say lately, so much that I didn't write for fear that I wouldn't get it all down. The thoughts in my brain right now call for separate posts, so you'll just have to withhold judgment for them all having the same date.

Well, I obviously went home for Thanksgiving, I'm going on the 5th night in a row sleeping in my Waukesha bed. It's weird to think that this is the longest consecutive period of time that I have been here for almost six months, but true.

I have never seen myself living in Waukesha in the future...in fact I had never seen myself living in any one specified location for an extended period of time...I had kind of thought of myself as the eternal nomad, or perhaps the indefinite one-- open to putting down roots, should the perfect situation present itself. I still don't see myself ending up in Waukesha, but lately I have been thinking a lot more about finding a community. I still find the idea of living in one place for twenty years daunting...but I find the idea of knowing the history of a place and it's people, and being personally invested in the development of that place and it's community, intriguing.

Maybe it's not about finding the perfect place, but rather finding a place that's worth the fight to make it your version of perfect.

I still don't think I'll be settling down for quite a while.
