In this episode of Home, I'm sharing my own story: where I was born and raised, where I'm living now and how I flit between loving it and struggling to feel at home.
Gosh I loved this Annie! I relate so deeply to living between two worlds and the ongoing joys AND grief of this...wanting to offer my children both lives. It’s rare to read/listen to pieces that encompass this so deeply and so a big thank you – I’ve felt understood even just listening to you speak about this. Hope you’re well, Julia x
Thank you Julia. I think it can be hard to talk about when there’s been a choice about moving. We perhaps feel we ought to just get on with it. But it all runs very deep xx
Your story invoked so many feelings about parenthood and ‘home’ for me. Thank you for being so honest (emotionally especially). I think growing up one assumes a linearity about life and when we’re adults and find ourselves in the deeply multi-faceted, multi-layered reality, it takes great strength and emotional intelligence (why aren’t we taught that in schools?!) to balance who we are and what we want, with the needs and wants of those around us. Thank you for sharing - perfect Sunday morning audio hug!
