Where is home?

What is home?

These are the questions we ask ourselves during our loneliest times.

The questions that have subjective sentiments, and seemingly objective answers.

Home for many may be a place they want to escape.

Out with friends is better than home with the parents.

Home for me resembles something quite different.

Something quite unique, yet could be construed as quite sad.

I think it’s brilliant, but I’m aware how it may seem to others.

Home for me is a place of innovation. A place of quiet, focused movement.

At home I’m most progressive. Most eccentric and most myself.

Home has made me who I am today.

How?

Growing up I spent a lot of time by myself, at home.

At home I’d build Lego, draw, write, paint.

Be very creative, but I’d also never complete anything.

Then I fell in love with golf again, and I spent time outdoors, but again alone.

As a teenager, I’d split my time between golf and studying.

However, there was time to myself again to just think, theorise and to ponder.

This time led into umpteen projects that never got finished.

It’s only when I set my sights on winning a major at my golf club, where I started to finish things I started.

When I lived at home for university, this trend continued.

Starting and finishing projects.

That started with newspaper articles then turning into a daily blog.

All of this conceptualisation was formed by my daily experiences, but made at home.

Home is where I can listen to the same song on repeat and work.

That’s brought me a lot of joy.

I guess I’m feeling reminiscent.

I’m grateful for where I ended up.

I feel at home whenever I can do my projects, things that give me unlimited amounts of joy.

Because they ultimately aren’t to please anyone, but instead to satisfy my own curiosity.

And that’s why I think it’s unique.

Home — a place for absolute madness, but pure bliss — it’s just homely.

It might be strange, but this year has proved more than anything.

I’m more than my home self.

A person that is growing, has many faults, but tries to be better everyday.

Not just for himself, but for others.

Home taught me about me.

Home taught me to be patient.

Home taught me to listen and learn.

Home taught me more than I could’ve ever imagined.

It’s quite magical, I’m very grateful.

Onwards and upwards.
