Everyone has heard the common phrase "home is where the heart is." Lately, I've been in such a state of limbo. I'm sure, everyone has felt this abnormality, not knowing exactly where you belong. However, I don't think home is an actual place. Home is people. The people that you genuinely love and adore are home, and without them, you feel misplaced and entirely burdened down. It's so true, that without those people so close to your soul, something is missing. Whenever, a person owns a home they feel an obligation to tenderly guard their home and take care of it. Likewise, the people we qualify as our "home," we feel obligated to watch over and assure that they are indeed--okay. This obligation is not forced, but the matter of the will and endurance.
So, while everyone is in this state of "where is my home?" I believe we should focus on the people in our lives, and begin to carve a home in them.
A few weeks ago, I spent time carving a pumpkin out and honestly it was a big mess by the time I finished. My goal was to carve a glorious hot air balloon, but 3/4 of the way through, I was frustrated and had to throw my hands in the air.
If you think about it, any new person or pumpkin you carve a home into, takes time, endurance and patience. As individuals, we must take the time to grow into our homes and fully appreciate them. We have to learn when to fight and to refrain, while maintaining a futuristic outlook. Moreover, we have to understand that the unconventionally beautiful require the patience to press forward.
In reality, our home is not a place or building, but who are hearts connect with and find safety. Therefore in this time of uncertainty, I believe we all must take a deep breath in and carve with precision and patience into the homes of each others hearts.
