roots or wings?

I struggle with the desire to both "settle down" and "roam free". Right now, I am kinda living in some limbo between the two.

Sometimes I feel like I would like a more permanent residence. Somewhere I know I am going to live for awhile so that I could put time and effort into making it a "home". I could decorate and update it as I see fit and make permanent changes to my living space. I could paint murals, build shelving...I could have a garden out back and a growing collection of indoor plants.

At the same time, I don't want to be tied down! I don't want to invest in a residence when an opportunity might arise elsewhere that I want to pursue. I don't WANT to spend money on home repair or spend my days doing yard work. I like being free, I want all of my belongings to fit into one vehicle!

At the present moment, I have more stuff than could fit in one vehicle and flit from apartment to apartment. Sigh...
