“Perhaps there are many professionals who move to your area for work, away from their hometowns and their families. I remember being one of those myself, when I took a job in Washington, D.C., after college in New York. As I tried to navigate the new world of adulthood and independence, the excitement of a new job and a new city, I cried every night for the first two weeks. The nightly tears subsided through the hospitality of others, some young professionals like myself, and others older, wiser, and happy to share their homes and their experiences with me.”
