The last time it felt like home.

Childhood was the last Time life felt like home—a place safe enough to exist without pretending. This piece is my quiet grief for growing older. I watched myself evolve, leaving behind fragments of my childhood with each passing day, while carrying the ache of everything I was becoming.

This piece caught me in the middle of a lifelong search to rediscover the emotional home that I/we unknowingly left behind—A place where we once felt whole, safe, and free enough to simply exist.
