I just got back from a year overseas, six months of which I lived in Seattle as a study abroad student. While I was there, I could say that Seattle was home for me. But if moved back there tomorrow, it wouldn't be the same, because most of the people who made my Seattle experience what it was are gone (they were other exchange students). Sure, I'd settle in again and make new friends and feel at home, but it wouldn't be the same home, even though it's the same city. Make sense?

@escibs That is a beautiful and perfect explanation. I wish I had delved into that. Awesomely phrased. xD

"Home: A place where you don't have to wear pants." LMAO

HOME IS WHERE THE FUCKIN HEART IS, MUTHAFUCKA!

[MigdalaVered]

...and i have a residence on earth. and friends houses that are like home to me. my job feels homey. but even in all these places, home is just... where i am. it can't be my home without me. home is where my heart is. or something else cliche that maybe once oozed profundity.

[MigdalaVered]

the place i reside in most often is probably of a "third space" variety, as mentioned in tfios. (we've all read that by now, right? i'm not spoiling anything? not that "third space" is this massive spoiler. the specific verbiage surrounding the idea is original, whereas the idea itself is not.)

i don't know that i can define my third space too precisely. sometimes i'm staying in my head, other times it's how i refer to my life on the internet with friends. i also live in past and future...

I almost made this exact video like a month ago when I came back to college. But then you made it, and said it way better than I could have. Basically, I agree completely.

Home is anywhere I can walk in, say hello, and then take food from the fridge comfortably.

[caramelsangel]

i like when videos make me think, so thank you for that. i feel that home, for me, is familiarity with my surroundings. i live almost slap bang in the middle of glasgow and edinburgh. in the sense that they are both easily accessible and approximately the same distance away from me. and i feel so lost when i'm away from both these cities. i think home is also, most importantly, where my bed is =)

I really like escibs' comment, which brings me to the idea that home is embodied in a series of moments, but the home-moments are the ones in which you feel things that you want to remember. A 'place' in which you want to be, but not in the sense of place like the grocery store or mcdonald's but more specific, like a setting, like Sunday, in the park, with George. OR backstage on a couch of questionable sanitation, with people you don't see anymore, eating cold and even more questionable foods.

Home are the places where I feel safe and at peace (most of the time). Places that I think that I can return to and always feel welcome. Which is why I have several homes:

- my parant's house in the town where I grew up

- my own apartment in the city where I live and study

- the house where our student corps is residing

- the house of my best friend's parents.

(And this is without even mentioning for example the Internet, Hogwarts and Green Gables)

home for me is the place where I've spent the last 19 years (my current home). I've been thinking about the concept of what home would be like if I wasn't here. It's hard to think about it because I've been here for so long. Things need to change and I want to make it happen soon.

[MissPrincessSarah]

I often struggle with this, I say 'home' is where my parents live and i grew up. but when im out in the city i live in now i say " lets go home" but i dont mean "home" as in my parents i mean "home" as in the home i made here :) and when I do go to my parents 'home' I cant wait to get back to my 'home" uhg, life

[brandonstevens37]

as i go threw living my life and learning who i really am down to my core hopefully i figure out what home is for me and what it means to me p.s. i hope i didn't waste your time with my comments also hope you had a good day
