I feel this comment so deeply. I spent all of my late teens and early 20s doing music in the US. I lived in a van or on a bus and only went ‘home’ for a few weeks consecutively at the most, and that was maybe three times a year. The world is viewed in a fundamentally different nature by those who are nomadic, and the rest of society has a very tough time dealing with those nomads.

Yea, I lived in East Africa for a bit and learned a lot about the struggles between the nomadic pastoralists and settled farmers. Also in Europe with the Roma people and their struggles.

I mean, I guess nomadic vs settled is probably a spectrum, with most of us not falling at anywhere near yhe extreme poles. Yet, yes, I feel you.
