Home
I am looking forward to writing about this trigger, which was suggested to me by my good buddy at Pipe Dream Graphics. Even now I wonder how I will approach this one. Will it be fiction? Something personal? In the end, I decided to just sit down and tell you why this particular trigger is an excellent one.
This is exactly what I was hoping Viv would do with my trigger word. Knowing her background, somewhat, I was intrigued at how she would define “Home”. It is actually something that always intrigues me.
My own definition is similar to where she ends up, but very much more focussed on the people than the places. I think if a handful of the most important people in my life would be happy to come with me, I would gladly uproot and move somewhere tomorrow. Every few months even!
I draw my strength and my comfort and my will from the relationships I have with those around me. Even though I’ve lived here my whole life, Brisbane would not feel very comfortable if my family wasn’t here. And even though I know the city inside out, it would not feel much like home if I couldn’t visit my friends.
Home ain’t where you live. It’s where you’re happiest.
