Home Again

Jul 19, 2010 17:28

I had an interesting conversation yesterday about the nature of 'home'. Is it a place you return to, where you currently hang your hat, or anyplace where you find yourself in the company of those you love?

For a long time, I pretty much considered it wherever I was for the long term, especially since even my parents' home wasn't really my home anymore. But I definitely see it differently now.

How so?

Well, now I see my home as with Chris, so I suppose that's a place I return to that has the person I love.

*He smiles, happy with the general overall turn of events in their lives.* Do you two have any special plans for the future?

We're going to be getting me a horse. *She laughs softly.* Does that count as special plans?

dr_boyce July 22 2010, 15:33:19 UTC

I don't see why not. Chris wouldn't get a horse for just anyone.

That's very true. He said he was going to start looking before the Hood returns to Earth. It'll be interesting to see what he finds.

So how about you? How would you define it?

When I was young, I thought it was a place. In some respects, it still is a place. A place in time. Now that I'm older... I can look back and see that it wasn't the location that made it home but the people who shared it with me.

*She nods in agreement, knowing she would feel the same way if Chris were to move.* It's not where they are, but where they are.

Yes indeed.
