As cliche as it may sound, for me home is where my heart is. I'm leaving abroad for an year and i do miss what use to be home but i don't feel it as home anymore. Home is here, where i am now.

If you find that home, then there is no place like it. Unfortunately, you don't know it until you've found it and it can sometimes surprise you... mostly when you finally find it and realize that all the places you considered home before don't even come close. If people have experienced this, then this makes sense...otherwise it probably doesn't. Okay it's obviously getting late so I'm going to give up explaining this now. :)

There really isn't. No matter how many times I go on a vacation, stay with a friend, or do something that takes me away from my home, I always end up wanting to go home by the end of my absence. Even in the greatest city in the world (NYC), something about the comfort I feel at my home in south florida just pulls on me. What is it about the hum-drum mediocracy of my house that pulls me back?

I've moved around so much growing up that home was always changing. Home, for me, was wherever my mom was. When my mom recently remarried, it was the first time I felt like "home" had been taken away from me. Her new husband's home isn't home. It's where my mom is but it's not the same. She even moved to another state which was hard too because she is much further away because she was always within 20 minutes of me. But I still feel like even though my mom is further away, where I am now is definitely home (the geographical area, that is, not the literal home)- it's where I am supposed to be. I've never been one of those people that craved to be further away from my roots. I feel like the place I have in this world is the one I am supposed to take up...the ministry I work in, the people I have in my life, the places I go, and the things i experience. Although I am always open to things changing.

I've lived in many places... and there really is "no place like home", which for me is a small town in Illinois. The ONLY reason why I call it home is because my entire extended family lives there - or at least within a somewhat short traveled proximity of one another. Being extremely close to my family, I find it hard to call any other place home than the place where all my loved ones reside and share their lives with on a regular basis. I of course personally don't prefer to live in that type of place, but I will most likely most back there someday so I can be closer to my family... or at least w/i a 5 hr drive versus the 19 hr drive I have now.

I think you all misinterpreting the context of my question. What I meant was do you feel that you really belong where you are (in life, this world, this time period and society) or do you feel that you were meant to be somewhere else?
