Ruby red slippers
There is something incredibly centering and beautiful about being at home. Yet at the same time there is this small ache attempting to work its way through me that this will not always be my home... that my time here is genuinely coming to an end. That my parents will sell this house and move away after my brother graduates and I will live in a home someday that I buy and that I will attempt to start a new family in. That is so unsettling.
