I relate to so much of this. I moved from Chicago to Denver and within months of moving, got pregnant, postpartum haze straight into pandemic. It felt like anything but home.
I’d never heard the phrase third place but that makes SO much sense. I, too, have do s a third place at my Pilates studio and then another one at a coffee shop around the corner. It helps and/but I know I just don’t feel the same sense of belonging here and I’m trying to make peace with home is a feeling not a place. Which I get glimpses of, but honesty, it’s fleeting. Sometimes I wonder if I would feel at home anywhere right now. These last few years both globally and interpersonally have felt like only transitions.
It’s beautiful to hear how you’re making space for all of it. The blooming where you’re planted is something I’m going to take on board too.
