Sometimes your life can be affected greatly by something that happens very far away. With modern technology you can be virtually connected with all the world and your potential sphere of influence grows accordingly. Also I noticed that in life you tend to elect some key places as your safe points, the areas where you can return to and get support or simply friendship every time you need it.

They don’t need to be close to where you live and actually they can be quite far away. Maybe you don’t even realize that you have elected these special places as your “sanctuary”, namely the spot where you can return and rest, while feeling protected and “at home”. Maybe you haven’t been there for quite a while and you simply forgot about them or they are so far away an “unreachable” that you feel as almost they don’t exist anymore.
They could be the house where you were born and raised or they could be any other location. For me, after I left Italy and my original town and moved to the US about 15 months ago, there was no special place like that. I felt I had abandoned my home town forever and my life was going to bring me in new places and new adventures. The visa procedures also restrict my motions inside and outside of the US and so I concentrated in make myself more comfortable in the place where I am right now.
