My Home Is Here: Massachusetts | States Of America

#StatesOfAmerica #Massachusetts #CollegeLife #MyHomeIsHere

In the U.S., you may have been born in one state or in another country, go to school or work in another place, and then move somewhere else by choice or circumstance. What is it that ties us to these places and makes us call them home? How does our state affect who we are and how we identify ourselves? In a time where identity, unity and belonging are under scrutiny, STATES OF AMERICA asks these questions in short documentaries, featuring everyday people as distinct as the physical and cultural landscapes they call home. These films begin to portray a mosaic of America's famously emerging identity. From Emmy nominated filmmaker Brad Barber.

I’m a college student and pre-pandemic, I felt like I had 2 homes: Arizona hometown and Massachusetts college life. And now with the pandemic and my school and virtual work tied to Boston, it’s like the 2 time zones are a symbol of my double life.

I don't consider celibacy and abstinence to be a particularly healthy lifestyle. A balanced, wholesome, educated approach to life and its ingredients will improve your life quality in the long run - not fanaticism.
