On the move Response

“On the move” talks about the idea movement and home. The way things keep changing and evolving but somehow parts of the things that are changing still find a way to connect to our roots and express a sense of melancholy. “When one is ready or forced to move is the time when fantasies rise to battle with experience. Pictures form in our minds and we go in search of them; they don’t always jibe with reality.” I believe we always have this idea of what moving will feel or be like. For me personally I thought it would be liberating to move and experience another city, but what i’ve learned is that you can never truly sense the feeling of home until you’re miles away from it. “To be of rather than in a place certainly does not demand one be born and raised there.” The point made here is very valid sometimes we find ourselves moving away from our home town and that we were never “home” or that we feel more familiar and in touch to this other place than we do in the place we were raised. But to me home isn’t a place, it’s not four walls, it’s two eyes and a heartbeat. For me home is people, home is memories, family and feelings. I believe if you’re with the right people you will always feel at home, no matter where you are. There’s also times where we find ourselves at peace with a place. We find inner peace and strength in a certain environment that maybe we’ve never even lived in. I also think the energy a place gives off is also a big aspect to feeling and finding home.
