Home is not a place: It’s people
In the past few weeks, I have been talking to my friends about whether I would move away from Vancouver. Most of my friends, strangely enough, have encouraged me NOT to move, in particular because of the strong social network I have here in Vancouver (not only my offline friends from long time ago, but also newer friends and associates I have met through my blog). The truth is, through the power of online social networks, I don’t actually think that if I were to move away from Vancouver I would have to re-start from scratch. Admittedly, I might need to have people introduce me to other people, but with the size of network I have, I don’t see that as something I might need to fear. 2012 sounds like a year for much change. And whether we like change or not, we should always be reminded that our home is the people that we come home to. Vancouver has been and will always be my home, because of the many people whom I love and love me here.

There’s nothing wrong with having more than one home. I think it’s the fate of many of us today. Social networking can encourage shallowness, but also makes many friendships possible.
Posting this from Mexico City, sort of my second home.

Selfish comment here – can’t move until I’ve met you in person. That’s how it’s going to be
