One year ago - in the middle of cousins and aunties and uncles, surrounded, enveloped, drowned in love, people with the same eyes, same nose, same tilted mouth, the lilt of accent that sounded like home to my ears...
Today - lonely, longing, afraid, insecure, settled in mind yet unsettled in soul, searching and aching, reaching out and pulling back and tethered to the shore of conformity...
And what to do? Stay and be in the safety of misery? Run to the unknown yet familial comfort?
Can you ever really go home again?
I think not...but I wonder, what else is there to do?
