I went to a party once and I was asked where I was from. I hesitated… should I say my hometown? My current town? My nationality? I didn’t even own an apartment… I was so afraid to answer that I turned and walked away. You open the door, you take off your shoes and you take off your bra. Do you feel at home? Whether it be a roof, a bed, a dog, a kiss, a moment of silence – we’re all looking for something to give us comfort in a place where a simple danke on the train is like a miracle. n a world where we sometimes feel broken or alone; where we go to parties and don’t talk to anyone only to realise later that there’s a running thread through all your stories. |
And only then might you realise that it was your pants you wanted to take off and not your bra. We all recognise that yearning feeling inside of us, similar to when we see that last piece of cake on the table, but it runs through our entire body; we want to belong but there’s a missing link that slips through our fingers when we try to grab it. Sometimes we just have to leave our bags, tie our shoes and run. Because maybe home might even be somewhere we’ve never been before.
WARM SAFE & COMFORTABLE Where do you feel at home? What makes you feel home? Is it a cozy feeling or does it leave a missing spot, a hole? Did you ever feel at home? Most of us are so fortunate to have a home, many of us might come from broken homes. Maybe even from another country. Maybe from another culture….so did you leave your HOME behind? Is home really where the heart is? Is home a physical place? A feeling? If then what? Of belonging? Of feeling safe? Warm? Comfortable? Or does it only make you think of how much you actually pay for it to at least have a spot called home nowadays in Berlin? Maybe you share home and your roommates drive you nuts? Or make you feel at home?
