When No Place Feels Like Home

- How do we define what home means and how do we build it? For so much of my life I have had the restless feeling of wanting to go home, even while sitting in my own house. So come chat with me about how we create a sense of home, and a place that we can fully surrender to.
I have a blog:

During my travels, I learned that home is where the high speed wifi is
I totally relate. I often feel like I want to go home at home!
The reason why you feel like this is NOT your home is because this world is NOT our home. The black void of consciousness is OUR TRUE HOME!!! Since the day of our birth, we are programmed to believe this earth is our home and our job is to survive as long as possible, but if you ask anyone what purpose consciousness serves on this planet, they will look like a deer in headlights...... Humans have been brainwashed and programmed to continue this sick cycle of taking consciousness out their true home (the black void) to bring them into this prison planet, loosh farm, hell realm!!!! There is an entity driving the forces of this world, but the entity is NOT good in nature! It is an energy vampire, needing constant energy to feed its vile self
Oh my gosh! 😯 This is something I'm going to discuss with my therapist on my next session. I thought I was being silly for thinking this. During my childhood I lived in a different place almost every year. So I never had a stable home. I've been living in the same apartment for 15 years now, with my parents and brothers, whom I have a great relationship with. But I have this constant thought that comes out of nowhere, I really can't tell why it happens, it just echoes in my head "I want to go home". Just yesterday I searched for notes in my journal and I found that phrase in different entries, and also written out of nowhere, nothing related to what is written before that. And I can't understand this feeling, like it makes me really nostalgic for no reason.
It's so funny, I actually discussed this with my therapist this morning:) It is a very important and often overlooked topic.
It's funny how I've randomly thought, "I want to go home" at home but not sure exactly knowing what or where that is, and got recommended this by the algorithm. Great video
Thank you. It's really warming my heart the amount of people who feel the same way.

From atlasobscura
“there’s a German word (of course!) that describes this feeling: fernweh. Literally translated as “farsickness,” the term is closely related with the concept of wanderlust. Just the mere thought of some places can fill us with a sense of fernweh, even when we’ve never been to them before-or, in the case of fictional places or places that no longer exist, can never reasonably expect to.” I believe it also implies a yearning or homesickness for places one has never been. There’s also a wonderful Madeleine L’Engle quote you’ve probably read about how we’re “all strangers in a strange land, longing for home” but never really knowing where or what it is, but that we catch glimpses out of the corner of our eyes.
The description on this video alone has me crying from validation. I have never told a single soul this ever. Im in my late 20's and have had this same feeling since ive been a young kid. Sitting in my parents house as a kid literally saying to myself "man i wanna go home". Even right now, to this day, i will be in my own home i pay for, in my bedroom, just wanting to go home. Idk what this is either but the guilt from this has been crushing. Maybe it is from worrying too much of future things we cant know or control yet. Im not sure. Getting help this year. But this video brings so much comfort knowing all these years i havent been alone. Idk how this video came to me but thank you.
I am glad we can both feel less alone. It's such a hard feeling to describe to someone who hasn't felt it. I am so happy you found this video.
Joining a co op helped me discover home. The 80/20 rule is very much in effect but the best people make it wonderful. When my mother in law passed people started a meal train without a second thought and we have since done the same. Kids in our streets knock on each others door to play. It has flaws but we've built a community. I miss my home country (haven't been back for nearly 9 years) but I realize that if I did go back, it wouldn't be the same and I'd miss the idea, not the real place
I love the idea of a co-op. I live deep in the suburbs and I know the names of two people on my street and it makes me kind of sad.
I get what you mean
Texas is where home is for me, keep in mind I haven't visited the State most of my family thinks it's this massive problem/deal & in my mind I'm thinking yes it's1,000 miles from the Midwest but at least I'm happy & feel at peace.
I cannot believe that this video appeared on my feed. I have felt exactly like this for 30 years - rootless, unanchored, apart from wherever I am living at the moment. At this point in my life, I associate the word 'home' with where my wife and daughter are, but I don't think I feel the sense of identification with place that other people have. More frequently in recent years (I think COVID-19 lockdown was the beginning), I reach points nearing despair where I have to escape to the impersonal environment of a hotel room... like a reset almost.
Maybe people who feel like they have a home are so used it that they cannot articulate the sense of it? I wonder if my notion of home is unrealistic, but I don't know how to check that. Meanwhile, I travel a lot and obsess about the next place to live.
Thank you for sharing this!
I am sorry you also know the feeling but I am glad I am not alone in this. I always felt like I was the only one.
@@simplyintentionalkatie Me too. It's hard to talk about with other people. I admire your courage to share your experience!
I've slways been looking for that special place where I want to stay forever, but haven't found it. Looks like circumstances (unavailability and unafforability of properties) will now decide where I stay.
It's tough, I am currently priced out of ever owing anything in my hometown and I have a good job. It's extremely disheartening.
I admire your commitment to follow your own path and be curious about the challenging parts! As you said there are a lot of people feeling like this but not talking about it. I think it's courageous and to be celebrated talking about it! This time of my life, I'm learning about creating a home inward and experimenting with different mental postures that allow me to imagine things as good and safe. optimistic thoughts and gratitude and excitement. Instead of all the things that could possibly go wrong. Give myself praise, appreciation and acknowledge I am always good enough just as I am and it's okay to rest, it's good too. Stop pushing so hard and accept good things without terrorizing myself with thoughts that it means I am making bad things inevitable. I have different perspectives, strengths and resources than I did when I was younger and the past can't ever repeat itself. Express gratitude and love for others. I've been listening to a CZcams video with affirmations about being safe too. And a CZcamsr called Alecia renece has videos that have helped me start creating a safe, secure mindset internally.
I am definitely working on this too. It's important to remember that our lives need to make sense to us first. We decide what we value and how we can beat show up! I will check out that channel, thanks!
