home, to me

 

home, to me, is not a place

it’s a feeling, an energy, an ocean

a person

 

travel, to me, is not a vacation

it’s boundless, a healer, a teacher

a necessity

 

feminism, to me, is not a fight

it’s calm, confident, poetry

a gold chain around my neck

 

family, to me, is not bounded by blood

it’s bounded by loyalty, honesty, love

memories

 

life, to me, is not a timeline

it’s a privilege, a moment, ever-changing

timeless

 

love, to me, is not a feeling

it’s a promise, a driving force, a soft smile

a beating heart

 

home, to me, is you
