home
it doesn’t have a meaning, yet has a feeling
the feel of a certain moment
the feel of someones arms embracing you
and the feel of knowing everything is okay


the meaning of home differs for all of us
maybe its looking at your family
maybe its looking into your soulmates eyes
and maybe its what we feel when we know we have accomplished what we were born to do

it might be looking at the stars on a windy Saturday night
it might be the fall of the leaves in autumn
and it might be drinking your morning coffee while watching the sunrise

 

and most of all, its the smile you give yourself when you figure out you’ve found it.

Good Idea, but if some mistakes would have not been there then it would have become a master piece!
