Happy New Year!
I will quote your words:
sometimes it is best to just let the past live in the past
When I return to the places where I lived as a child, I feel certain notes of nostalgia. But I don't have the feeling that this place is my home. I recently bought an apartment and moved there, again. You know what I understood. My home is where my child and wife are.
Indeed!
So often we come to understand that "home" is not actually a place as much as it is how we feel and the people we are having those feelings with.
Happy New Year @o1eh!
