My first job took me back from college to my home state, but to a completely unfamiliar region of it, where I knew no one. I was cripplingly homesick and scared all that first summer, and then the first day it was cool enough to drive the car with the windows open, I got a whiff of an oak-and-pine forest in fall, with the leaves just beginning to come down, and it totally filled me up with home home home. And after that I was OK.
