Your Lifes Puzzle

I like to talk about the meaning of home a lot, because there are a lot of different meanings for everyone. Home can mean the temporary place you are staying at, place you grew up or a newer permanent place of residence. But home for me is also being with the one you love, the one that when you look into their eyes or when you are beside their side, you feel that you are home.
When a few moments pass when you think you are going to lose that one person you feel you are "home" with, it is like no feeling you have ever felt before.
Think of it as a big part of you that would go missing. Something or someone who makes up of who you are, or who you have become. It is hard to believe to lose something like that, someone or something that you learn so much from or have shared so much of your life with.
It doesn't really have to be a significant other, it could also be a close friend or a relative or even a job. As long as they make up a good part of your life and you feel a certain calmness with them, then you know you are "home."
California may not be where I am from, and I have only been in this state for almost two years, but there certain parts of it that have made me feel like home and certain parts of it that don't make me feel like home. Having a routine with someone you share most of your days with, that is home, that is a good feeling. Or having one place where you get your food, get your hair cut, a library to go to and knowing the right places to go for the right prices. When you become familiar with your surroundings and your schedule of life, that is home.
But if a part of that is missing, a piece of the puzzle of your life, it can't be complete. That is what goes through your mind in those few moments when you think you will lose that piece of the puzzle.
For some people, starting a new "puzzle" after awhile is okay, but some who have worked on this for a long time can't move on until they know it will be okay.
Cherish the people, places, and moments you have that make up the whole "puzzle". Because you don't fully appreciate it until its gone, and when it is gone, it is too late.

*This does not mean that i have lost anyone or anything. Just are thoughts after encountering some scary moments. I don't mean to be morbid.*
