... Garden State: "You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."
The movie has a lot of great commentary on being 20something and a bit lost, but when that line came on... i was like yeah, exactly... although Portman's response kinda mutes the point, people > place, but still. So that was my response to the question... with "how far can you be from an idea?" tagged on the end. Please do not devolve into how STUPID the questionaires are, she's my good bud from my original home... i'm happy that we keep in contact, so i endure this internet phenom with a smile
So make another thread for that.
Physically, from a home address, I've been to opposite side of the planet and then some... in this day and age being a world traveler just doesn't seem as special /shrug.
