I've lived in a few different places throughout various stages of my life: born and raised in Texas --> college in Upstate New York --> back to Texas for Occupational Therapy grad school --> Bay Area for a new adventure --> currently Southern California because apparently I've been suckered by the West Coast into staying for the past few years.
Realizations I've had from moving around while reflecting more on this process:
Pretty simple ideas yeah?
Until life gets in the way and somehow the execution doesn't follow through.
One person who has been there despite all of "life" happening has been my little sister. And by little I mean 3 years younger but 2 inches taller and a decade wiser :p We often do get asked if we are twins (and may or may not often go along with it). Admittedly we haven't always been as close as we are today but as the miles increase between us, I think we have both learned to prioritize quality time together.

I've appreciated exploring much of California's fun interactive events with her like this day at the Color Factory in San Francisco. I'll let the video speak for itself but the best way to explain this magical fun land is an adult playground. So many textures, colors, and patterns to appeal to your senses. Multi-sensory experiences are crucial during childhood development, but I forget that adults continue to benefit from the same experiences. This day was definitely amazing in every way and reminded me how stimulating being a kid can be. It was inspiring to get a taste of so many brilliant artistic minds collaborating to create one of the happiest spaces I've encountered. Photo and videography cred to her (IG handle: 
Closing question: Who is your person who has been there as "life happens?"
