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 @mustavi in his post titled Let Me Welcome You To My Home where he said something about missing home.
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!!!
We're quite different, I don't know how do it, I can stay away from my siblings for and mum for a long time without panicking.
As long as I know that they're fine, I'm okay.
Home to me is just where I feel at home.
Yeah, it's same for me that way... I call them, know they're fine and I stay okay at anywhere I may be.
@merit.ahama merry Christmas.
I missed seeing you around. Hope you're good?
Exams have been hiding me away o 🤦♀️
But I'm good and you?
I'm great. I haven't been consistent myself. But I'm trying to do so. I believe this week would be one of my most consistent week after a while.
I'm doing quite well.
Wow that's good to know, enjoy your consistent week then... I wish mine would be same 😒
I like the saying a house Is four walls a home is where the heart is
Exactly, thanks for that input Jay 😊
👍🙂👍
Whoa, that’s a beautiful publication. I’ve never really stayed away from my family but am planning to move to a different city next year after my graduation. And I’m afraid I’ll miss my family too much but wouldn’t be able to come see them too often.
Then I guess this post was of a little help to you, keep them in your heart and you could go anywhere with their memories.
Really cool that you have a family you love and love to be with. Many people have horrible people as family members and they've fought so much their relationship is strained and home doesn't ooze off pleasant feelings.
Taking home with you wherever you go in your heart is usually the best on can do, being around family physically all the time is not always possible 👍
I would agree with you about that, some people feel better and at ease when far away from their home because of the negativity they get from them... But for me, I'll keep taking them with me wherever.
Thanks a lot for stopping by

Sweet home is that one you don't want to leave and you always want to go back to. Every member of the family should contribute their quota to make a home lively and peaceful. I love my home and the family members are always on my mind when away. This festive season I always return to my former home to visit mum. It is always a happy reunion when all siblings and their children come back home for same visit.

Home is family to me also, I can't imagine life without them.
I watched a movie days ago and I saw the inscription that "where your heart is, is your home." I totally agree with that statement because home is always the place where your heart reckon with and where you are happy to be. Family is our home too and we need to always check up on them and not only thinking about memories with that at a far distant. @dreemport
I think I've heard of that movie before, thanks for your contribution
