There's No Place Like Home

So the next two weeks finds me back home in England. I haven't been at home for over two years so it's a strange feeling. It gets you thinking about the concept of 'home'. Playfully, I wrote as my Facebook status, 'Dorothy's back in Kansas'. Apparently there's no place like home.
But home has become a fluid concept for me. I've been living away from home, overseas, for a few years now. I have created a different life for myself. But big city life in New York is an odd little experience. In a short time you can develop deep relationships. But they may only be there for a season. At the same time, it's also a very lonely place. Especially for the dream seekers and fighters. In the moments when I feel lost and alone I imagine being back home in England. But now that I'm here, I find myself missing my new home, and the people in it.
Part of me is here in England. My old friends, my family, creature comforts and home cooked food. Things you can't get anywhere else. People that have known and loved you for years.
But now, part of me is in New York. I have a new life, and I've been through so many life changing experiences there that I've changed as a person. There are people I've let into my life that know the me I am now. They've been in the passenger seat to so many experiences I've now been through. Events that have changed me.
So my conclusion? Well I'm still working it out. But I will say one thing I've found to be true. Home is definitely where the heart is :)
