Home Is When The Heart Settles

Home is such a beautiful thing.

I thought home was my hometown, automatically.

I felt my hometown was all that I’d ever see, dramatically.

I assumed this small mind, momentarily. But I am big.

A big girl now, I am complex. A whole person now. I am deeper than that.

A soul within a body I feel the net.

The net

was like

a web of lies

set for me. Specifically.

To fall trap, to fall deeper into that mindset that-

I am nothing but my surroundings

at BEST.

Even my best bet would fall short compared to the rest.

The rest that were born to be just that. The best.

Home is where the heart settles and my heart was on fire! Until that very day that I felt untamable, untouchable, and magical. I am BLESSED.

Blessed to feel stress, to feel a lot where others feel less, I am not the best YET but I’ll be damned if I’m not the best NEXT.

Home is a feeling that I get to know next. Loving myself and loving not knowing what’s coming next.

Just doing my best to pass on the answers to this test.

Life is a mess

But when you find a home...

Life is at its best.

I found my home in someone who loves to test!

Test my attitude, test my judgment, test my mindset!

This relationship is so fresh

We could be the cover of ebony and I know the caption would be “Best Dressed.”

For he makes me feel at ease. He makes me feel more than less.

He makes me want to live out my life, cinematically.

Everyday is a movie. Even when the title of the movie is

“Watch Netflix fanatically.”

He settles my heart and I love that part.

He makes me feel at home

He makes me feel like I’ll never be alone.
