I tried to say goodbye.

To start something new, in a place just a little different to here.

I tried on new words, I tried to place myself in a box, neat and tidy with a bow.

But each time I tried, one thing was clear.

The place was not here.

I had been craving something new, like fresh bedsheets, like life, brand new.

There is no place like home.

This is what I know, now. This is what I feel.

Maybe I’ll go again, maybe I’ll return. Maybe this will happen, like an ever repeating song that never ends.

I’m okay with that. I’m okay, as long as I’m home.

    Sometimes home is just too cozy to really leave. But, like a place of comfort, it’s always okay to leave and come back. Welcome home.
