Having a hard time sleeping so I decided to check out for available topic to write on and I found the dcc contest tag to support "Home" interesting one I thought.
Some people may say Home is a place where people live in, well maybe but for me:
A home is a family or people who love each other living happily together. So I mean, home can be anywhere and not always in a place called the house.
I'm listening to a song by Sia and she just sang a line that says "I'll find my way home". She means she's not at home but she'll always find her way home and not give up finding her home whenever. Home may be far away sometimes but always welcome it's own.
Wandering far away from home, in search of greener pastures, going for bigger dreams to make your home happy, working so hard to bring back home the glory and pride... All these are good but thinking home is far away from us while we go about that isn't good I'll say.
Our homes are never far from us if we would allow our homes be anywhere including our hearts. I read a post by 
It is exact 6 months I’ve last seen them, video call is not enough I guess! I want to be at home “every now and then” but it is not possible due to day job.
That's a really long time to be away from home but what keeps one from feeling hurt about missing home too much? It's the deep unseen connection we get from our memories with our home. We allow our homes go with us wherever we are and in whatever we do.
Not everyone allows this though, they tend to even live happier away from home but thumbs up to all whose minds are directed to their homes no matter how long it's been away from home.
Writing this is as a result of my staying away from home for sometime now, I find myself thinking of what my siblings and I would have been doing at anytime I miss them... I just feel better after doing that, it's my way of staying home even away from home.
A friend always say that "Without my family with me, I don't think I'll be able to do anything smoothly without problems", I remember telling him I was like him too but ever since I've been living away from home and doing things by myself, I learnt that their memories are more than enough to get me going.
If it gets too hard, I call them up, I make video calls or even find a way to visit them but most of the times... I think of our memories and smile away any distress.
Our homes live in us only when we allow it and I have allowed it. Doesn't mean I wouldn't want to be at home all the time or wouldn't want to visit to see my home, it means I can be with my home all the time, anytime and anywhere.
This is my entry for the DCC contest and you're invited to participate in the contest as well.
Thanks for reading!!!
