I gave up on the concept of home a long time ago. Now it's all about settling down for me, in a place, where I can find loved ones and family around me. A place where I cease to feel the coldness of unfamiliarity. In a sense it's that warmth that can create a notion of home, if that makes sense at all. <br /><br />So far (and I mean the last few days since I arrived here) it's been good and I have experienced nothing but good vibes and happy faces. It looks like this might be my home after all.Watermarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09950214409406244159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794031308834364772.post-80051257588063982842010-12-16T06:33:25.027+04:002010-12-16T06:33:25.027+04:00From a stranger to a stranger...
Home.....!?
What ...From a stranger to a stranger...<br />Home.....!?<br />What a word! I don't think I can identify with one ... on this Earth! Don't mean to sound gloomy but I really don't have one in a physical sense. By that ofcourse I don't mean a house or place to live but a community or culture that I could call mine.<br />Home for me is very abstract. In this life it is people whom I identify with their ideology even if I have never met them physically, even if they were through the world wide web!<br /><br />Best wishes for some serenity and tranquility :-)Badeeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885550269334127606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794031308834364772.post-85793548292815236782010-12-05T20:09:00.833+04:002010-12-05T20:09:00.833+04:00Zhongming, perhaps it's an age thing.

I do have relatives who have just spent their whole lives in one place and would absolutely love to travel. At times I do wonder what life would've been like for me if it were just that way. Travelling is a good thing no doubt about it. I think it's very different when you have that option as a grown up as opposed to experiencing it while actually growing up. I know I would've been a completely different person and looking back I know that I wouldn't change a thing :)Watermarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09950214409406244159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794031308834364772.post-78012925857855625822010-12-05T18:06:51.911+04:002010-12-05T18:06:51.911+04:00Now that I have read it, I can't really tell w...Now that I have read it, I can't really tell why you're not satisfied with your current lifestyle but I think you're definitely normal for wanting a place where you could call home. On the other hand, I am quite the opposite as I am always surrounded by family and relatives. And because of that I wanted to live somewhere else to experience different culture, living lifestyle and of course explore different landscape and food! I feel that sometimes a change in life can really widen your horizon.. as in you see things that others normally don't see. Difficult but challenging :)<br /><br />I wish you best of luck in your decision :)Zhongminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316151636704591892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794031308834364772.post-90719137469039072142010-12-05T11:07:25.085+04:002010-12-05T11:07:25.085+04:00Thanks for your comments, authorinprogress. You...Thanks for your comments, authorinprogress. You're quite right in saying that home is usually where you spent your childhood but I found out, while growing up, that it can be many other things. Like a place where your loved ones live or a place you tend to associate with happy memories or even a place that has shaped you in one way or the other. It can be about the place itself or about the people. In any case, I know home can mean different things to different people. For me, I call different places home and I wonder how I will adjust this time. Only time will tell.Watermarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09950214409406244159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794031308834364772.post-33731388018210515042010-12-05T08:14:51.702+04:002010-12-05T08:14:51.702+04:00Since I am what is known as an army brat, what you...Since I am what is known as an army brat, what you write resonates with me. For most of my life I felt the urge to move on after about 3 years or so--this time I have stayed put for 13...but going home? I don't know. Where is home? I never had one, really. How about you? Is it the place of your birth or where you spent your childhood? Home to me is where my heart can beat a bit slower--but as far as warm and fuzzy, that only exists in my imaginary past...I wish you bon voyage!nikki broadwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747409519592210649noreply@blogger.com
