Reflection: Location

This week, I chose to reflect on a "Writing into the Day" we did on location about two weeks ago. 

I really enjoyed the quote, "Location is a collage of geography, memory, and sentiment, welded together and burnished by art and ideology".

It talks about how culture is inversely directed to location.

I relate because I have a lot of experience moving around when I was younger which also made the cultures around me change as well. I am who I am because all of the experiences and memories I had/created in each place. With the holidays coming up, all I've been thinking about is being home. And then I thought where is my "home"? When people ask me where I'm from, I always answer New Jersey…That is where I was born and raised, but I've lived in North Carolina for almost three years now…so should here be considered my home?

Since we plan on recording multiple people, we can condense the recorded material and give it a collaborative title.
