How many people out there grew up away from the place you call "home?'' I did.
Now I'm not talking because your parents were in the Military either. I mean one day your parent(s) packed you up and drove away from the only place you've ever known as home and you haven't been able to move back.
You know the saying, "Home is where the heart is?" Well, mine is in Florida for some reason. Don't ask me to explain it because I won't be able to. It's just one of my quirks. This lil' statement has drove my family "bananas" for years.
I mean you grow up and become adults but you always feel that you are missing something. You never can put your finger on it, but you know it's there to say the least.
Am I going crazy and bananas along with my family? Or am I getting some where with this?
Is there really a special place that we are all meant to be, or is our paths already figured out and we just have to find it? Complicated to sit and ponder this day in and day out.
Maybe my cold meds is starting to make me sound funky because now I can't make heads or tails of this... Anyways if anyone happened to have read this, thx. I sure hope I didn't make you any more confused about life than me.
I think I can relate quite well to what you are saying. When I was 16, my family left the village where I grew up and moved to the next town - my parents had decided to build a house there. I didn't like it there, I didn't care for the town and it definitely didn't become home as I left it for a bigger city three years later to go to university. I would have stayed there - though I wouldn't call it home either but had to leave for a yet bigger city because of work. In the meantime, the village has changed completely and I don't feel home there anymore either. So in a way, you are better off because you know at least where your home and heart are while I feel kind of uprooted and don't belong anywhere. Or everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying that. I could just imagine what it would feel like to go through what you did. Thanks for commenting. 'Tena
