"Home"

Ever since I left my country, I found it hard to feel at home in a foreign land because I felt out of place and didn't have my family with me. However, whenever I retire to my bed every night it feels different. My bed is my home because it allows me to use my imaginations and memories to re-live the moments I had with my family in Africa. Back home, I spent almost every night in my mother's bed speaking to her about everything, and lying in my bed gives me the comfort of those special memories with my mum. I'm able to be at peace, meditate and travel to the past. I am more happier in my bed and I feel that's why I see it as "home" because my thoughts and imaginations become real in my sleep and quiet time.
