What is the definition of home?
This question keeps coming back to me ever since I left Canada last year.
A lot of my friends and family ask me when are you coming home?
Well what if I told everyone I was already home?
For everyone who doesn’t know, I’ve been travelling around the world for about 10 months.
From Europe to Asia and then Covid happened.
Our plans to keep traveling full-time definitely got ruined.
But lucky for us, we were at the right place.
Taiwan, a country that deserves all the recognition from the world
and where everything was safe and sound even when Covid happened
So we travelled all across taiwan from North to South.
That means from Taipei all the way to Kenting.
Literally from the top of the country down to the bottom.
So you might ask..
Is Taiwan my newly found home?
Nope.
Home for me is more than a place.
It’s a feeling of something indescribable.
Maybe making this video will actually help me define home for myself
and for everyone who’s watching this video.
For a lot of people, home is a place of comfort, warmth, and a safe place.
Some might say home is where your friends and family are.
Hey what are you working on?
hey
guys, I'm in the middle of something here.
Hi everyone and welcome back to another video.
Today we're going to talk about something..
Yo what are you recording today?
what's up?
Guys, we've talked about this.
Just let me be, okay?
Hey, do you have extra toothpaste?
Lukas Lukas
We can't sleep.
Guys...
So are friends and family home for me?
Sorta… but nope.
If we look at the definition of home on the internet… hold on let’s ask Siri.
What is the definition of home?
Which word?
As a noun, it means the place where one lives permanently
especially as a member of a family or household.
Do you want to hear the next one?
No, thanks.
In hindsight, this is the most basic level of how we can describe home.
As humans, we are much more complex than that and for me, home is...
Remember I told you that it’s not a place but rather a feeling of something indescribable?
Well let me just use all the words I can use to describe it.
It’s a feeling of happiness and It’s an experience of being comfortable.
Comfortable to be uncomfortable.
It’s a feeling where you can do whatever you want.
A feeling of freedom where you can be comfortable taking risks because you feel safe when you’re home.
It’s about growing with this feeling where you can be whoever you want to be.
Home is whenever I’m with her.
We started travelling non stop to parts of the world we haven’t even been.
Cultures that shocked us both but we never got scared.
It never felt like we were in an uncomfortable place because we were with each other.
We had issues with the client we were working with but together it felt like we could conquer anything.
at that point, I knew, at that exact moment, that I was already home with her..
and now, we’re counting the days until we’re back home.
So what is your definition of home?
