This feels very woo-woo to say, but it feels like my world has gotten bigger.
I can vividly imagine numerous locations that are over five-thousand miles — uh, nearly nine-thousand kilometers — away from my current place of residence. It’s hard to not call that a little bit insane. It’s even harder not to call it even just a little bit magical, in the “magic of childhood” kind of sense. Parts of my life now very tangibly span across different continents, and both places feel close to my heart.
