Nowhere Is My Home - There’s a strange comfort in not belonging. For some, the idea of home conjures images of a fixed address, childhood memories, familiar streets, or a single place on the map that holds it all together. But for others—wanderers, seekers, the in-between souls—home isn’t something they return to. It’s something they carry, lose, rebuild, or redefine with each passing chapter. For them, nowhere is home. This isn’t a story of being lost. It’s a story of becoming. To not have a home in the traditional sense is often seen as rootless, even tragic. But what if it’s just different? What if not being tied to a single place frees you from the illusion that a single place is where meaning lives? Maybe it’s not a specific town, house, or skyline that defines home. Maybe it’s the moments in motion—the stretch of highway at dawn, the silence of a new city at night, the familiar hum of solitude. Some people don’t leave home. Others spend their lives searching for it. But there's another kind entirely: those who stop looking. Not out of hopelessness, but because they’ve realized something quieter, more subtle—home isn't a destination for everyone. For some, it’s the feeling of freedom in uncertainty. The sense of presence in the unknown. The ability to let go, again and again, and still feel whole. "Nowhere is my home" isn’t a cry for sympathy. It’s a statement of independence. Of resilience. It’s an admission that sometimes the only place you truly fit is the space between places, the breath between conversations, the stillness between lives. It’s not about having no place. It’s about belonging to all of them, even if just for a little while. In a world that pushes permanence—roots, houses, titles—there’s something beautifully radical about living untethered. About finding comfort in the temporary. About building connection not through location, but through experience. It’s about knowing that even without a fixed point on the map, you still exist fully, fiercely, and with intention. So when someone says, “Where are you from?” and your answer hesitates, bends, or doesn’t come at all—it’s okay. When you pack your bags more than you unpack them, it’s okay. When the only constant is change, and the only place that feels right is the space you’re standing in right now—it’s more than okay. It might just be home.

In 2005, an observational study of almost 12,000 people with diabetes hinted that the type 2 diabetes drug metformin might also work against cancer, suggesting a 23% lower rate of cancer among those who had taken it. Since then, thousands of papers have explored this idea, but no gold-standard clinical evidence has emerged to support the theories.

Recent trials for two types of cancer have reported no benefits from metformin. Early observational studies might have exaggerated metformin’s potential because of ‘immortal time bias,’ a phenomenon where individuals who died from cancer were not able to try metformin, creating an illusion of a survival benefit.

Despite initial excitement, metformin has not lived up to its promise as a cancer treatment. Researchers have conducted numerous studies on lab cells, animals, and humans, but the results have been inconsistent. Some studies suggested that metformin could slow the growth of various cancer cells and enhance their sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs, but these findings haven’t translated into successful clinical trials.

The lack of conclusive evidence has led many experts to advise against using metformin as a cancer treatment. For instance, Pamela Goodwin, an epidemiologist and medical oncologist, often receives inquiries from patients about whether they should take metformin for cancer treatment, to which she advises against it due to the lack of definitive proof.

While metformin remains a leading treatment for type 2 diabetes, its potential as a cancer therapy has not materialized. More research is required to understand the mechanisms by which metformin might affect cancer cells and determine whether it could be repurposed for cancer prevention or treatment.

In conclusion, metformin’s journey from a diabetes drug to a potential cancer treatment has been one of hope and disappointment. Although initial studies were promising, the lack of clinical evidence has dashed the hopes of researchers and patients alike. The search for effective cancer treatments continues, with metformin’s story serving as a reminder of the complexities and challenges of drug repurposing.
