What is a home - is it the warm feeling you get at the sight of dear ones, is it the laughter you generously give to the silly jokes thrown out in the air, is it the constricting twist in your chest with the lost of memories once treasured, is it the first smile of the day you get after waking up, is it the tinge of bittersweet pleasure at the remembrance of someone faraway yet close at heart, is it the sense of amazement and wonder at the smell of salty sea, the taste of bitter leaves and sweet flowers, the rhythm of chirping bird and barking dog, together with the embrace of your loved ones make you feel complete and whole. What is a home - exactly?
If happiness can be transient, so can home. If you can find happiness anywhere, so can you find where you truly belonged no matter where you go. If you can lose happiness at the grasp of it, so can you lose your home without ever once leaving it.
Happiness, home, love - are things you crave to validate your existence, to prove the worth of your pumping and bleeding heart. If you no longer present, and if your heart stopped beating at the touch of emotions - happiness, home, love; they no longer matter.
