Familiarity

What do you feel when you're approaching home?

Seeing the tall trees, the shrubs, the road; indicating you're just moments away from comfort and safety.

The same trees and shrubs along the way, the same road taken every other day, all leading to this place you wake up in every morning (almost).

You're lying down across the backseat of the car, or on the reclined passenger seat closing your eyes. If you've been living there long enough, as you enter the neighbourhood, you'd memorize every turn, every bump, even that pesky little pot-hole in the middle of the street, and you'd know where you are without even having to look.

Why don't we ever get bored with that?

It's because we know, when the car stops at the end of our journey, we're home.

And home, is just too comfortable a place to be for us to say that we're bored of it.

Where do you feel like going when being out and about has drained you of your energy?

Where do you want to go after a long day at school or work?

Where do you want to spend a rainy day with a cup of tea to sip while flipping through the pages of a good book?

At home :)
