Home Sweet Home

 Everyone wonders why they were born, how they should live and where they truly belong; so do I.

   One day, as I was on the beach one night with my family, I noticed that the stars were deviating. After I looked at the stars more carefully, I realized that all the stars had unique fingerprints on them. I asked my father sitting beside me “Dad, why do those stars have huge fingerprints on them and why on earth are they moving like that?”. As always my dad replied, “Why are you asking me, just type it up on Google.” which is not a very surprising reply for me nowadays. After I did some research, I found out that these stars were the reflections of the soul and once in every thousand years, they start moving to show their new owners where their soul belongs. I knew that I had to seize this opportunity to go on a trip to learn where I truly belonged so I convinced my parents that we should go abroad for vacation.

   I planned everything about the trip according to where the star appeared at night. The first time I saw my star, it was close to Greece so my destination for this adventure was Greece. On Sunday, a week after I saw my star, we packed our things hopped in our car and started driving to Greece. We drove for 3 hours to get to the Greek border from Çanakkale, on our way there we stumbled upon an enormous forest and took a hike there. For a moment, I forgot the purpose of this trip and seriously thought that I belonged here. Although I didn’t want to leave that forest, we had to keep driving to reach Greece.

   By the time we reached Greece, the Sun had set and it was dark around. I started looking for my star once again and saw that it wasn’t that close to me anymore; it was near the forest where we took a hike. I was shocked, I wasn’t expecting my star to change its position again and I didn’t know what to do. I decided to focus on this matter when we got to our hotel.

    After we got to the hotel I thought about what could’ve caused my star to deviate again and I realized that it was because of how I felt while hiking there and that my star was close to Greece before because I’ve always dreamt of coming here. I said to myself “Therefore the soul star travels to the place its owner wants to make nice memories in or the place the owner had a good time in. That is the meaning, people don’t always have to reach their destination to make good memories. Everything they need is a nice place and their loved ones, that is where a person’s home is.” and decided to enjoy this vacation and make good memories with my home, my family.
