What you said. Every. Single. Thing. This is me, too. Always craving something more.

I have finally learned that home exists wherever I am happy. Sometimes this is an actual place; sometimes it is on a page; sometimes it can be found in a dog’s kiss, an ice cream cone, a kayak, a sunset.

What you said. Every. Single. Thing. Right back at you as I reply feeling right at home in a city I do not live, in a coffee shop with an iced raspberry tea and a rainbow flag on the wall. Home is in me and in so many places.

I am so grateful for this comment and your words.

Ohh that’s so lovely Lauren, I related with a lot of what you wrote (so much).

Home for me is:

1. My hometown (despite NOT wanting to be back there at least for awhile, there’s something really comforting for me about this place that saw me grow up)

2. Munich and Paris. Last time I arrived at the airport there (both cities different times) I remember taking off the plane, gathering my things and thinking : I am home 🥹

2. Macadamia Nut Brittle Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Maybe more a Proust’s madeleine than a home per se but as effective. I "accidentally" bought some this week after awhile and each spoonful was a flashback if memories and reminiscence of home... for while it lasted so not for long 😂
