i've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back

answer: I have both no idea and every idea. I know that home is anywhere I want it to be, and that the "where" is infinitely less important than the "with whom". I know that I have at least three homes, if not more. I know and celebrate the validity of family by choice. I know, in a nutshell, that "home is not a place". but right now, at this very moment in my life, I am also in the midst of struggling with the very idea of home, searching actively for where I want to be and where (and with whom) I belong. it is my crisis du jour, and it is tempting to fall back into old norms, precedents that are comfortably stagnant at best and, at worst, actively damaging. I am fighting with myself to stay here, and for today it is a fight I want to win. tomorrow I will consider it again but today this is my direction. I am myself, I am here, and most importantly -- I am.

in other news:
I APPROVE OF THIS. VERY GREATLY.
