Walk a hundred miles

Then walk a hundred more

Away from the place you used to know

 

Embrace all the change

Find a way to rearrange

Your feelings inside, never let them show

 

That's the life I led

That's all I've ever had

Fleeting scenes of memories passing by

 

But it never bothered me,

No I've never shed a tear

And I never ever stopped and wondered why

 

Till I found you.

Till I found my friends.

And now I've come to hope

This is where my journey ends.

 

 

I have said goodbye

A thousand times before

And I'll try, I'll try

To hold on to something more

For the very first time

I don't want to be alone

For the first time I can

Say that I am home

I don't wanna say goodbye

'Cuz I am home

 

- Home (Zecora's Song) by MandoPony

 

 

As I write this, I'm sitting in the terminal at Newark Liberty International Airport waiting for my flight to Brussels, Belgium. As many of you already know, I'm moving there.

 

Life has moved fast in the last few months. I only learned about this in late April, and immediately we went into "moving mode"

 

We've rented out our house in St. Louis, bought a Minivan, sold the old cars, put things into storage, and shipped our other things. Right after we were done with that, we were moved on a military Temporary Lodging Facility (TLF) as we waited for my dad's change of command. After that, we drove to Michigan and toured there, then drove to New Jersey to live with relatives for a while.

 

It feels like we're nomads.

 

This isn't the first time I've moved, and it probably won't be the last. In all, this will be my tenth move. I rarely get to live somewhere for over a year or two, and I often don't get to keep friendships.

 

When I make friends, I know that I'll leave them in a very short time. Yeah, there's facebook and all that but a lot of people just don't remember me. When I moved, I left one life and had to start another.

 

Until I over a year ago, when I became a Brony and joined the MLP forums.

 

I was surprised how welcoming the community was. I almost feel like I grew up here, so to speak. I made friends, goofed off, discussed, been enlightened, and have been comforted by these forums. There is something homely about it.

 

That's what this is to me. It's like my home. It's a home I don't have to leave when I move. I may not be the most active guy here, but I still always consider this to be the place I belong to on the Internet, and right now the world.

 

So I'm off to Belgium, a new adventure in my life. Just know that I'll stay here, because this is home.

Friendship is Magic, is it not?

 

Pretty much. I could have just said that and made the post 3 words long
