I've spent my entire life a wanderer. It's always been my mother, my sister, and I. My father passed before I got to know him. I left home when I was 14 for boarding school and didn't come back until I moved back home from college and felt like I barely knew the little family I had left. I spent so much time hating the outsider, loner, nomad that I am. I tried everything possible to get rid of this introverted, rooted-with-my-head-in-the-clouds personality. But when I finally started losing that I felt so foreign and truly...lost. It was as if I was watching a stranger in the place I wanted to call home.  I then realized that I am "home." My spirit rests with me.  And yes I'm still a nomad, but my home is my heart. I'm happy being lost, it makes this life an amazing adventure. This song has been with me through the journey I guess you could say, but in the background. It will hit me at different milestones, normally once I get passed a test. It really hit me recently when I got out of an extremely emotionally abusive relationship. It keeps me on track as I reclaim myself.
