Where do you feel most at home?

[Saiisha]

I've noticed over the years, that a lot of old souls don't feel like they quite belong, or they're longing for a place where they feel free. (I think this is a longing for their final "home" - whatever that maybe...)

Do you feel this way sometimes? Do you have a place where you feel like you belong? Or feel at home?

I couldn't agree more J.D... thank you for so candidly sharing your experiences, and I would venture that many of us on this club can relate, which is why I started this club in the first place - to attract the kind of community that I know have a LOT to offer, but don't necessarily always feel heard.

So continue spreading your positive energy!

Yes, that's another great recommendation - thank you!! And now that you're here, I hope you stick around :)

Exactly how I feel.

I would rather hike on a mountain and have an afternoon reading and thinking. It's better to be alone than lonely around people.

I like how you said that James - "better to be alone, than being lonely around people"

Good evening! JD and James said it better than I could have and thats exactly how I feel as well. I feel most at home when alone but its a shame because I feel like I have so much to offer that, I feel the burden of not being able to offer weighing me down. still waiting for my chance...

Welcome Soumya! What you observe is so true for a lot of us introverts - the tug of war between wanting isolation but also a deep need for connection. It's a paradox that might take a while to find that balance, but you can ease into it slowly. Don't deprive the world of what you have to offer!!

Good Grieving: Narrative Perspectives of Loss and Bereavement

I feel most at home in nature. I feel the energy. It's like hearing unspoken words. I find there is no sin in nature. There is no ego. There is no conflict.

Love it - I love how you put it too! So what do you do during winter months when nature is not quite so inviting?
