We have finally moved to our new home. I am tired of everyone asking me “if I am back for good?” I am not sure what “for good” means. What is good for me, is to find another country to move to. To discover and lose a part of myself there. But apparently it isn’t what world expects me to do.<\/p>\n

I am back in Houston for now. I may be here for a year to two. Or maybe for 10 years. Maybe I will find something that excites me in Timbuktu in exactly 17 months from now and pack up again. I have no clue what my tomorrow is going to be like. I actively am seeking uncertainty. I like my life this way.<\/p>\n

I know it is hard for people to understand why I prefer being a nomad and honestly I have a hard time understanding why some people seek permanence. As I write this I am chatting with a friend about Italy, reading an article about Florida and waiting for furniture for my guest bedroom to be delivered. I know I am a bit all over the place but that is exactly what I like about my life. The uncertainty.<\/p>\n

There are times when I am completely overwhelmed and drained by it but once that feeling passes off I am back seeking uncertainty. I may complain and whine occasionally but it is just me.<\/p>\n

The past year has been laced with liberal doses of uncertainty and while it was hard to deal with all the changes I was surprised how easy dealing with changes become with time. Once you start expecting the unexpected, everything is possible. I am hoping 2016 brings in uncertainty at frequent intervals to satisfy the nomadic me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
