We all were born in a family, in between people we don't choose. They say they are our family, that they love us but sometimes we just don’t believe it. We don’t fit in between them.
So one day we decide to pack our dreams in a suitcase, a couple of memories and leave.
We run away from our fears and regrets and hide all the nightmares under the bed where we won’t sleep in anymore.
We build a new life, start everything from zero, a new city, new friends, new exciting challenges and new memories.
But we cannot avoid sleeping and nightmares with it. One day we wake up and we find them there, sitting on our bed, looking at us with their yellow eyes, a shadow over us.
And it start all over again. The feeling of being alone, unwanted and misunderstand. That big shadow follow us everywhere, no door will stop it from follow us, no sea or ocean can keep it away from us.
And that’s when we need to be taken back home.
Back to that physical or mental space where we can find the strength to keep carry on. Home is where to feel safe. Sometimes home can be too distant or can’t been reached easily but we know it is there. We just have to keep it in mind. We don’t have to forget our suitcase full of dreams and hopes, they are the reason why we started this journey. We put so much effort in that that giving up is not an option.
It is totally normal to feel homesick sometime. But memories are there to show us the path back home.
