In my virtual reality, people keep talking about home as if it’s so sacred. Once somebody asked me, “Where do you go home?” I answered, “Eternity”. Because that’s my default mode on communication: say things factual and literal. I also communicate in metaphor. But metaphor that is normally widely accepted, taught at school, or what I see fit accordingly. Lately I use metaphor that will be said in virtual reality, only few and very rarely in daily communication.
So what is Home? I don’t know what is Home in virtual reality. I have speculation that it’s somebody. Which somebody? How should I know? VR is always confusing because lack of logic and structure that supports it. Often times, it sounds random to me. May be some similarities, then it’s becoming Home. The concept is weird.
What about Home for me?
- It’s Home when I feel peaceful, warm, belong. It’s wherever my husband and my daughter are. Because being with them, I feel happy the most.
- It’s Home when my way of thinking being validated. I feel Home when I’m with my husband. Because he understands the way I think. It comes always in ease to talk with him, because it’s always challenging to emphasize my point in particular place because they will twist the meaning of whatever I say. So my husband is Home for me, while that place is never my Home.
- Physical house in Eternity. My husband wants to live in another place when he’s retired. I keep saying that I’d rather be home at Eternity.
I have no intention to leave my comfortable Home. But I will always upgrade it, making it more comfortable. We’re growing together.
I never forget where I came from. But it’s not my home anymore. In this journey of life, what’s relevant to me is changing. It think that what happens in other people too.
Life is good for me, although people in VR will think otherwise.
But I’m home now.
