Scapes

​

People often say, "A place is what you make it" and, "Home is where the heart is." But, I've always struggled with both of those.

​

I still live in the city I was born and grew up in. I never left, despite planning to from an early age. For many reasons, it just hasn't happened for me yet; kids, marriage, income, jobs, etc. However, most of my family have left and they rarely come home. I think it's fair to say, I've been struggling for years to feel at home in my hometown, and it hasn't happened yet.

​

What does that have to do with this doodle? Well, despite being in the same city our whole lives, my husband and I have moved six times. One could argue that is common, especially as we're so young, but a common battle that has transpired throughout the moves is the love of the city, and the love of the peace, quiet and privacy of the burbs. 

​

This doodle represents the struggle for both.
