My mom got me a sign that says “Home Is Where the Anchor Drops” and hung it on the hook on my bathroom door the day I moved in to my new apartment. I’ve been thinking a lot about what that means, and more broadly, what “home” means. For many people, it’s the house they grew up in or where they now live with their own families. Or maybe it’s the state where they lived the longest, the college campus they attended and now work at, a church, a bar. For some, it’s more of a feeling than a physical place. According to this sign, it’s where the anchor drops—a kind of stopping, a destination.
