A new place should be allowed to become different from the home you miss.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Comparison keeps a new place provisional. Measured constantly against the one you left, it can only be a worse version of somewhere else, and its own qualities never get a chance to register as anything but differences. What you miss is real. It is simply not the whole account of where you are.

Give the new place one thing the old one never had: a walk, a market, a habit that could not have existed there. Let it be good in a way that does not compete.
