Homecoming
I'm going to denmark tomorrow.
Strange thing. It feels remarkably like going home... and going to wisconsin often feels like going to some weird place to visit the family. But, of course, Wisconsin is home, and in some way it always will be.
But is Denmark home also?
what makes a home, really?
Wikipedia defines home thus:
Home is a place where a person lives, perhaps spends much of their time, or where a person is comfortable to be. While a house (or other residential dwelling) is often referred to as a home, the concept of "home" is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of refuge and safety, where worldly cares fade, with things and people one loves becoming the focus.
Hmm... I dunno. We have a saying, "home is where the heart is." Funny.
I don't know where my heart is. When I'm in Wisconsin, I just want to leave, even though part of me feels very secure there. I like Belgium... or at least I like school here... But I really want to be in Denmark.
However, It could be that I am really just wanting to be in the past. I may just want the same relationships and dynamics as when I left. Unfortunately, those things do not exist anymore, at least not there. I suppose I will find out when I get there if Denmark is my home.
But I don't know.
But I like that. I think I'm at an age where I thrive on uncertainty and possibilities. Maybe I have no home simply because the very idea of home goes against the thing inside me that is trying to expand... Like a plant that you have to keep on moving from pot to pot.
I know that MC is not the right pot for me anymore. I'm trying to grow in a direction where the MC pot won't allow. But maybe one day Denmark will be the right place. There's more than one pot in that country, I guess.
For some reason... I feel as if I want to look into Austria, Germany, Ireland, and England. Maybe one of those places will become home.
But it doesn't really matter. I'm young, life is good. I will grow old and settle somewhere at the right time. I kinda think the time matters more than the place anyway... Like, when I'm ready, I will know where home is.
I want to learn German so bad right now. All the best books are in German. GERMANGERMANGERMANGERMANGERMANGERMANGERMANGERMAN.

You're coming home, how nice, home home home. When you get here, we will whistle the Robin Hood tune like the good old days at Viking Baba, least, that is what I think I know it's called lest my memory fails me.
you're hilarious, and so is that dang picture at the top of your page. i...can't stop looking at it. and i wonder what kind of person takes a picture like that instead of commondeering a bat to swat the bird? vile crooks!
also, you're a lucky sob for getting to denmark without me. however, you also rule so i cant be too mad. have a good time. maybe take some pictures?
really miss you, friend.
love
rebecca
