So true... Funny thing is, when I meet some old friend who's been living in the same place all his life, it gives me an image of well-rootedness, with friends and family all close by. While they look at me with such wonder and admiration, as if I was accomplishing an astounding achievement just by living in the places he only knows from TV.
But this is nothing new. There have been songs written about this, as old as time.
"...and I wouldn't trade your whole life for just one hour of home."
