How home feels! I am settled again!
For a first time in a year, I am home in Lithuania. Everyone who has ever traveled for a long time will know how strange it feels to be heading home. However, no one ever told me that the home is quite the same. I mean, I needed like 5 minutes to say hello to my mom, brother, and dog. After that, it felt as if I have never left. I was just sitting in a living room, talking about casual things with my family and doing whatever I am used doing.
So, I while driving home I felt that I will feel like a stranger after a year, but apparently - you cannot be a stranger at your home. Yup, if you leave a place and coming back after a while feels just as comfortable as it used to be - it is your home. Also, you know that you are home when your wi-fi connects automatically.
What about Lithuania? Well, nothing has changed as well... Only me. I can tell that my country is just as it used to be, but somehow it feels a little tighter here. It feels like people haven't changed a bit while I and Gabriele were going through all those life lessons. While we were becoming a part of this world, Lithuania kept being Lithuania. I honestly feel that I can see all the stupidity around with a lot more clarity. When you are staying in a room with an odd smell, you eventually stop feeling it, but when you enter after a while - the smell is there. So the same happened to me and Lithuania. Good thing that soon I will adapt to all the stupidity as we all do! As for now, I am still in between everywhere and I trying to digest all the information of my traveling!
Also, how is Steemit doing? Obviously, I did not have enough time to hang around as my family and friends needed me more! But I am back!
Welcome home! You really nailed it in your description of coming home after extended travel. That has been my experience several times.
