Hello lovelies!
I feel like I am constantly finding myself thinking and saying it's been a while since I last posted, but it really has! There's been so much keeping me occupied these days, but I'm trying to get refocused and right back into this.
So lately I've been thinking about the concept of home. Is home a place? Is it a person? What is it for you? When I think about it, home is less a geographical location but more a combination of so many things. In that regard, I don't have just one home, I'm blessed enough to have so many.
Home is me, where I reside within myself. Where I can retreat after a particularly difficult day or where I can congratulate myself after a wonderful day. I can honestly say that if you had asked me a couple of years ago, I would not give you the same answer as now. I used to try to hide from myself by investing in other people, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't because that's how the best relationships are made, but never forget to invest in yourself. Because sometimes that's all you have and you want to make sure the home you're coming back to within yourself is sound and in good condition. I know I can survive without others, not that I want to, but I have the comfort of knowing that I can.
Home is also a physical location, surrounded by friends and family, comfort, fun, love. There are times where it frustrates me and overwhelms me, but I love physically being home. To be with my parents and eat home cooked meals and talk about so many random things. So sit and laugh and enjoy and just feel at peace. To be surrounded by the loud chaos which is my family. All my cousins and I hanging out and laughing, playing crazy games. Home makes me smile. :)
Home is also with someone. All curled up in bed on a cold morning. All softness and tenderness and early morning conversations whispered through barely opened eyes. Home is exciting and electric and tantalizing and indescribable. It's also refuge and safety and calm. Soft kisses and open arms. Home makes me smile and makes me feel light and free and strong and unstoppable.
There are so many homes, you don't need to have just one. But never forget that the most important home is the one built of the strongest foundation, because it is immovable and hard to destroy. Make that the home you have with you, because when you've agreed to take care of yourself, you'll also be helping others and be building your other homes in the process.
Please and love my wonderfuls!
