I don't understand the old cliché, "home is where the heart is." I believe heart is where the home is. Love comes in so many shapes and sizes. It is much like life in its variety. Family, lovers, friends, habits, thought, interests, curiosities, too many to count. So many ways but no encyclopedia to catalog them, only ourselves.
Memory fades as time passes but I could never forget the ways I've been at home. The love I've shared, the love I've taken. Places I've been a foundation and the places I've shaken. For someone to call one place home they would be sorely mistaken.
Home is not always beautiful to the eye but to the beholder its a dream they worry may end. Something worth all the trouble it takes to defend. Every step a means to this end.
Home is not always within reach, but a journey that must begin. A prize that only you can win. Keep marching through the nights until your paradise is within your sights.

Outside
"Jace, you're going to be late! Wake Up!!" Jace rolls over in his bed, frustrated at the woman yelling at him and the sun glaring through his window. His bedroom faced the east so every morning it beamed at him as if to say he has wasted enough time sleeping. "Jace! Not again!!" The voice calls to him from downstairs, he sits up in a panic, "Damn, I fell back asleep!" He jumps out of bed grabbing the first outfit he can throw together and getting ready in a hurry. Jace quickly runs down the stairs passed an elderly woman sitting in the living room, she looks tired as usual, must have stayed up all night again. As Jace runs out the front door he gives a quick, "Love you Sierra!" Sierra was his aunt, she took care of him ever since his father went on what he said was an "expedition" and an "important research assignment."

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
