home
/hōm/
noun
The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household
“Where is your Home?” It was a simple question, you could have said Gravity Falls, Hogwarts, Camp Half Blood, A small farm in Kansas, the streets, a nice home, The USA, Europe, Australia, Asia, Mexico, literally anywhere. Instead you responded with this “What’s Home?” “Home is where the Heart is” “Home is where Memories are created” “Home is where you feel like you Belong ” “Home is where the Sun rises and sets” But what if you have no heart, haven’t the place to make memories, you feel like you don’t belong, and the sun feels cold on your face? “What’s Home?” “Home is a place filled with Laughter ” “Home is a place of Love ” “Home is a place where your Loved One’s reside” “Home is a place you feel Safe ” What if laughter dies in your throat, you don’t know love, your loved one’s left you, and you feel danger at every corner? “What’s Home?” Millions of people ask a million questions everyday but only one or two really question where they live. It’s kinda crazy how one question can make your world spin. Honestly I don’t think a place, feeling, or person can be described as Home. Home is a word to describe a physical or mental place to go to, it gives a sense of belonging. Here’s a little secret...
“What’s Home?”
Home doesn’t exist….instead, home is something you can’t hold, feel, smell, sense, taste, or hear. But it’s always there, Home is something that your born with. It’s there through thick and thin, right and wrong, ups and downs, always there. Home doesn’t give you a place to stay cozy from the rain, or protect you from the harm. No. It gives you hope for the next sunny day, the thrill of danger, and the elation of victory. It gives you eyes to see those suffering and feel empathy. It gives you arms to hold the weak. It gives you ears to hear pure unfiltered laughter. It gives you hands to fix the broken. It gives you a voice to raise above the crowd. To see To feel To sense To hear A most of all….
It gives you that second chance in a life to pick you up to start anew.
