The place I currently live in is the only place I can call home. Maybe that is why I am so averse to shifting

Disclaimer

Main

I have shifted so many times I have lost track lol:
- 1.5 months in Vietnam, 1.5 months in multiple locations in Thailand
- 2 months in Sikkim
- 6 months in Kohima
- Almost 1 month in Moscow
- Multiple locations in Bangalore itself, first many months in one place, then another
- 2 months in one location in Delhi, then 2 months in another location
- Ofcourse lots and lots of hotels
- 2 years in my college hostel
In my entire life, I think the current place I live is, is the longest I have ever lived in a single place and felt somewhat safe and happy. Well, not exactly happy, but like, a lot of my life has been even worse than this.
Maybe this is why I am so averse to shifting yet again.
I already know my current line of work is just going to inevitably force me to shift some more. I might totally end up in prison too. Until I am forced to shift, I seem to have an aversion to voluntarily shifting.
At this point it is very overdetermined that I would feel better if I shifted to a place with a bigger window. I recently obtained yet another datapoint that bigger window makes me happy. Yet, I am not keen on shifting to a place with bigger window. I wrote this note to remind myself why.

Update

Actually no, I think my college hostel would be the number one best place, where I felt safest and happiest. After that it is a close tie between the place in Kohima I lived in, and my current place. Mildly prefer my current place, if we are rating the place in isolation - the specific building and the locality and city. (There were multiple other events going on in both places that are confounding variables.)
