Hey, guys. I read a quote today which said I am homesick for a place I'm not sure even exists. One where my heart is full, my body loved and my soul understood. What I take from this phrase is that a place sometimes is a person. Your home sometimes is a person. And you feel loved, content, understood. At home, the place where you can be you. The person with whom you can be you
Hi, Zeba. That's a beautiful quote. I think what they are referring to really is people who accept you unconditionally. That can be your friends. Very close friends can be your life partner. But you are right that nobody does that as well as your own parents too. They are the ones who accept their children absolutely unconditionally. Nothing ever comes close to that. I'm sorry about your mom's loss. But I hope you do find others who accept you unconditionally like that

All we could do in life is to add new rooms with that represents new people that really, really fill up that sense of belonging and understanding and unconditional love, like ours said. And it's such a bittersweet reality that when someone gives us that and then they're no longer here, it's a lot of emotional gymnastics to conjure up that feeling. And I think it's worth finding how to feel that warmth even when she's not around
