home
Wow, home is something symbolic for me. Where I feel the most secure, and, oddly enough, it isn't always a place, it quite often is a person. Right now, I feel most at home whenever I am with close friends, no matter where we go. My new boyfriend, my new best friend..these people that I knew within minutes of meeting them that they'd pull at my heart strings forever and that I found some sort of understanding and connection in their eyes. "Soulmates" may be a strong term, but there are a few people who I feel totally connected with.
That being said, I'd say I feel most "at home" in Santa Barbara, my college town, and, surprise(!) Paris, France..the Latin quarter, specifically. Having lived there for a few months,there are people that i have met there that i know i could show up on their doorstep tomorrow and be able to stay there indefinitely and we would be able to catch up in a moment's notice. People I don't get the chance to speak with every day, week, or month, but know that they'll still remember old stories we've shared and we'll always be friends.
