The best stories seem to crop up around when I move. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m moving (running?) away from something, or just because the act of moving itself is so chaotic that it easily translates into surreal moments. I don’t think I move as an escape unpleasant things in my life, but I try not to think about it too much just in case. Either way here is a collection of posts from previous moving experiences. I’ve organized a few into story sets.
