After five months of living in the house I recently bought in Cornwallis Park, I am gradually beginning to feel like I have come home. It’s always a challenge to put down roots in a new place for me even though I have moved more than twenty times in this lifetime. Although change doesn’t bother me as in adopting new beliefs, having to physically pull up my roots to replant them elsewhere is more of a challenge. Although I love to travel and see as much of the world as I can, it did teach me that a true nomad, I am not. Establishing a home base, a place I can always come home to, is a must.
Like so many people these days, COVID has had a hand in forcing us to make changes we might never have dreamed of doing. Buying a house at my stage of life wasn’t exactly in my long term plans. I thought I could just keep on travelling. I am now facing a new phase of my life only to discover that my newly chosen community is as well. Unfortunately, the change here happened without any warning and is causing heartache and anger to the residents who have lived here the longest.
