It used to be home

It used to be home.
The faces surrounding you were familiar. Even the faces that just smiled in passing, were somehow yours.
You were home.
Yet, you looked forward.
The next adventure, the upgrade, the next stage in life.
You’ve made it!
You have a new home.
New faces, new corners.
You can’t wait to discover it all!
Yet, you miss home.
Your childhood summers, your first apartment, The people and places that were somehow yours.
The familiar has now become your past.
The unfamiliar will become your home.
If you’re not careful, you will look forward.
You will wait for the upgrade.
You will forget to live in your home.
