Where is Home ?

What is Home?

This post is for people who travelled around a lot and lived in different places and countries. If you did not travel a lot and jumped from one place to another with or without plan, some of the things am going to talk about wont relate to you. Or maybe it will be a motivation for you, to start packing, carrying on and leaving your comfort zone. Go to new place, where you Do not know the language, do not know anyone, do not even know your way to the nearest super market to get food on your first night.

Travelling around and moving from place to place is an amazing experience. But as everything else, nothing is merely amazing. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. In the next couple of lines I will let you know about one of the disadvantages I am facing myself. But do not let it back you off from travelling and jumping around, because trust me the pros are way more than the cons. 

Lets get to the core, Sometimes, I feel homesick. And its normal to happen to everyone. Of course you predicted by home I mean the place I was born and raised in. but here comes the question that has been confusing me for a while. What is Home.?

The answer to that question is personally hard to answer for myself. Which home I miss? Is it the place I was born in? Or the place where I had the most friends? Or the place I had the best time? Or the place I made a lot of success and achievements? Sometimes I miss where I was raised and born. Other days I miss my friends I made while travelling. Other days I miss the lifestyle I had in a certain city. Other times I miss the crazy times I had in that other city. 

It will get complicated in this paragraph, so gather up all your energy for the next couple of lines. There is a confusion that happens while I am travelling for a trip away from a city that I just moved in couple of months ago and am already a stranger in it. In that trip I miss home. And home in that context is not where I was raised, or have my best friends, but home in that context is that city I just moved in. that room that I still can spend nights not able to sleep because am not used to it. Surprisingly when I get back from that trip to that city I was missing and calling home. I feel homesick although I was calling it home couple of days ago.

In the end I am just wondering where home could be? Because in different situation definition of home changes. And with more moving and travelling perception of home is different.
