You know the difference between shiny leather shoes when you see them in the store and the soft shaped leather of a well-worn pair? And the way that leather can pinch when you're getting used to wearing that brand-new pair?
Getting used to living in a new place is just a little like that. Stiff. A little awkward and unfamiliar.
Today I went about making this place more familiar. I drive around, become familiar with different routes.
As the little details become more familiar, it's like the softening of leather molding into my personal pair of shoes. As it becomes familiar, it feels a little more like home.
