My House Is Not A Home

I think that my home is a good representation of myself, although I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

I've noticed over the years that when I move into an apartment, I tend to leave my walls bare, buy cheap furniture, and do very little nesting. Some of my friends thought that was odd, and I never understood why until a few years ago. Most people want to settle and make a place their own. My MO is to move around after a few years, so my dwellings reflect that tendency. Why spend time and money on a place if I'm just going up and leave in a few years?

Many probably think my transient lifestyle doesn't make sense, but it's always worked for me. Until now. While I enjoy moving from place to place, I've also had the need to eventually settle down, and I'm starting to think that time is near.

The crazy thing is, I don't think my end destination is where I'm currently located, so my apartment will remain unvarnished for now.
