Feels Like Home to Me
I came home today. But home wasn't where it normally had been, and I can't pinpoint exactly when it changed locations. However, I can pinpoint the exact date when I changed location, so it had to have been sometime after that. Problem is, I'm not entirely convinced that I want this to be home. Scratch that, I'm not entirely convinced that I want this to be my only home. Can a person have two homes? Certainly a person can have multiple houses, and I suppose a person can feel at home in more than one spot. But can that overwhelming sense of belonging and comfort and ownership, be divided equally between two places? I don't think that it can. I think there will always be a stronger pull towards one place. So, I am nervous to return to my former home, because I am nervous to see whether it still feels like home to me. And if it does, and I feel as at home there as i used to, and equal to how I feel right now, then I would be happy to be proven wrong. But if I don't feel as at home, then that is far more troubling. That place that I have always called home is not something I'm quite ready to leave behind just yet.
