There are people who build cities on top of volcanic fields. And they live there. People build lives in desperate towns. And they die there. People grow up in fast cities and slow farm towns and simply exist there.
Such a big world to live in…
Are you HOME where you are?
I’ve always had a house. I’ve never been homeless. But I’ve felt homeless. Like now. Like for the last several years. I’ve lived in limbo.
Emotionally homeless.
What makes a place home? Is it a person? Is it being at peace with yourself? Is it learning to be content no matter the circumstance? Or is it a person?
All of the above! Be at Peace.

Love these thoughts on home. also, the idea of where people make their homes. I am home now. I was not for many years but I made it seem like I was. It is all of the things you mention combined but I would add that it’s who your with that can really make you feel at home.
I enjoy your writing, Hasty. I don’t usually comment but silently enjoy your words.

Where is home? That can be a very good question. Tom Wolfe wrote a whole book titled, “You Can’t Go Home Again.” Does “home” have to be a particular place, or can one feel “at home” anywhere or everywhere, or nowhere? I will, at some point, sell this house which I inherited, so I have asked, “What then, where would I want to go that would feel like home?” I don’t know. The places where I’ve lived before have all changed whether or not they felt like home then. Yes, a very good question.

It’s a question I ask myself a lot I have a home it’s the city where I live now I’ve been here since October last year never visited this city before but its definitely home. I feel like part of the community here, feel like I belong it’s a good feeling. Unfortunately I still haven’t managed it get a fixed address or a fixed abode which I can call my own. Still living a life of zero privacy. I’m physically homeless but not emotionally homeless.

Thank you in temporary accommodation at moment and its beautiful but the rent is SO high I’m working again and will have to pay 65p for every pound I earn over £78.10 each week if I exceed the Universal Credit earnings threshold of £500 a month.
Reccying for camp sites again.

In many ways you are luckier to have found a home emotionally than many who are housed. I hope you find your own place soon.
