Meaning of Home
Belonging without the real-estate brochure.
Home is where the chest stops auditioning safety.
Hearth, kitchen, tenement, mansion — the belonging is not square footage. It is whether you can exhale without performing gratitude.
Aromas and laughter attach to thresholds. So do arguments. Both count as architecture.
Finding belonging is not a Pinterest arc. It is returning to a door that still opens for you after you have been difficult.
The exhale costs something every time.
