At home where? by Chris
published on
The traditional place that a person might call home is something of a combination of things, such as social connections, years, familiarity and family . Me knowing all this, if I had to point my finger on a map to where I feel at home, I'd still be unsure, then probably end up pointing to wherever my current apartment is. "I sleep there, so it's home, isn't it?"..
Well it turns out that there's a home and a 'home home', both are separate entities with different meanings.. So, what is a 'home home'? Well, first of all, there are those who, like me, might have an unfixed concept of where 'home' is.
There can be many reasons for this unfixed concept, but for me, it was a result of my parents moving frequently. This got me thinking further, and it moved onto the idea that I shared these unfixed feeling on home with a similarly displaced group of kids...
