The Concept Of Home

When I asked my college girlfriend one time, what it was about me that she loved so much she simply said "you make me feel safe."
I didn't understand it then. But I understand now. The concept is of being "home."
The abstract thought is this...everyone is constantly searching to be home. Consider it, when you see your friends who are miserable, what is it that is lacking. That they are discontent where they are in life.  No one listens to them. They don't get you. Want to know why? They will never get your point. Whatever that may be. And this adds to your idea that the world is cold and miserable. It's not "home."

The idea of home isn't a physical place. It's an emotional one. One that is at the core of all our needs. And one, regardless of where you are, you have to want to feel. It's a comfortable place that you are at ease. And at the very center of it all is warmth.
The word warmth itself makes you move in closer. Makes you feel understood on all levels. This lacks in our social media world, because everyone is angry, bitter and kept at arms length. The authentic person understands they lack a lot in life. Our secrets and guard constantly down. With a person who instills the concept of home to you, you are at ease. At ease doesn't always mean comfortable. Volatile people, specifically in Hollywood, live in chaos and turmoil. They've been battered bruised and left for dead, and if they survive tend to inflict the same to others. It's a disease to which a lot of people fall to.
Because ease, warmth and the concept of home is too foreign to them. They shun it. They want the reality to be different.
Love is close to home. It means you are accepted and felt heard. Many people think they listen, they're really terrible at it. People who think they listen only believe they hear what you say and discount it. That's a large number. The ones who really care, process, understand and validate.
That doesn't mean they need to agree with every point. In fact, that's how you know they aren't listening. Because if you hear, you add a different perspective.

If you are in misery, and have many deep thoughts about life, the single most helpful thing to do is to ask more questions then talk. To me, this is much more welcoming than babbling thoughts. This concept of home is what everyone strives for. We want to feel safe. This is the sense we will seek, and if found, will feel that life is fulfilled and fulfilling.
Seek out your "home."
