It’s the shift from survival to growth. You can stop just getting by and grow into who you’re meant to be. Finding your home—really finding it—makes you want to settle in, put down roots, and bloom.
Absolutely loved this piece Miao! I definitely resonate to your reflection on how home feels like settling into yourself. I've been living with myself for a little over a year now, and it is the most secure I have felt in my entire life. It's definitely a gift to recognise that self-growth, and even have your home mirror the parts of you that need more of it. Thank you for this genuine and sincere offering.

Thank you for reading! “Home” was such an eye-opening theme for me to write about, as someone who chose to move oceans away from family.
