Home is where what is?
I decided to retire to my bed... It's 1pm. Midday! And I couldn't stand doing nothing in the living room, so I decided to go do nothing on my bed!
It's funny how I've been in the new place for a month already. A very busy, hectic, crazy month, when I barely see my house and the only times I enjoy my bed is 5 minutes between me getting cozy under the covers and falling asleep.
So I decided to go enjoy my bed in the middle of the day, before going to work!
So what is it then that will make the feeling of hominess strike? This place is such an upgrade, much cozier and spacious than the previous one..But why does it feel -still- weird to be in bed? Like it's a rental bed, a temporary space...Oh, I know! It's MEMORIES!
Memories will happen, they will come with the natural flow of time, no? Of course, there will be times when I will have friends over, for a wine, for tea, for hanging out! Cozy moments on my own (oh, when will that happen again?), just under my blankie watching my favourite anime and enjoying a cup of tea...Yes, all these -might- have already happened!
But what is the feeling of *not* feeling yet 100% like home?
I am not sure that I need to purchase a house to actually feel homey! I have totally felt this before, on rented places. But that moment that I was staring at the white, crooked ceiling, in the middle of the day, and between that moment and the other one when you don't blink your eyes and it looks as if the squares on the ceiling are moving, between those moments...I knew the answer!
Home is not where your heart, your hat or your dog is...Home is where you share the tiniest, stupidest moments with the person you love. I don't just mean the friends and loved ones, but THAT one person that makes you feel like home wherever you are. I guess it's a way of realizing that I miss him (yeah, tell me something new) but it's also making pretty clear that, until the moment he comes, I will always "just sleep" in that bed!
