Home for me is what I carry with me on every journey life takes me, I create it where ever go, it’s the connection with the people around me. The urge to create the atmosphere through interaction with the people I feel most comfortable with. Home is where there is equal amount of acceptance and rejection. It has a feel of limitation. Last but not least home is where I can’t be fully myself. Finding my true home has set me free to finding my true self.
