Nostalgia for the familiar or urge for the foreign? ...

"We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As of often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known." -Carson McCullers

"The people and places that usually comfort you don't have their customary power. The experiences you typically seek out to strengthen your stability just aren't having that effect. The proper response, in my opinion, is to go in quest of exotic and experimental stimuli. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, they can provide the grounding you need. They will steady your nerves and bolster your courage." -Rob Brezny

We can really be creatures of habit, can't we. Getting out of the old comfort zone can be hugely uncomfortable. A wise person once said to me "You don't like change, but it's actually great for you. You thrive." I have to admit, this is true.
