Today’s episode, I'm talking to Horace, someone I've known since elementary school, about what happens when home keeps changing shape underneath you. Horace spent the better part of two decades split across multiple countries, moving through cities and countries most people only visit. This conversation is about basketball and more. It's about what comes back with you when you finally lift your head up and see where you’ve landed. We talk about the versions of grief and identity that follow. We explore what happens when you return to a home that no longer recognizes who you've become and what it takes to trust the person you're becoming.

Reflection prompt: Write about the identity you used to be, the identity you're standing in today, and the one you're becoming.

Write now. Revisit later.
