Being a little lazy and happy wherever I am, I have only lived in 3 places since moving out of my childhood home. So, I have settled in so well at each place that it definitely feels like home.
I used to love having people over whether it was casual hangouts or overnight visitors from out of town. That changed when I ended up with 2 more of the worst room mates you can have. Kids. Those shits mess everything up, leave everything everywhere and the place is a perpetual disaster. There would be a couple birthday parties a year that would motivate them to tidy up and those are the consolation prizes I have settled upon.
Now, I just make myself available in the community and do the visiting.
