Home in a Different World

A home and a house are two different things. However, have you thought about what it means in a different language? In olden English, selcouth means strange yet marvelous. When you’re all screaming random stuff it might be chaotic but yet you're having fun. That means rame in Italian, chaotic yet joyful. I remember this one time when we were all yelling and making random jokes. It was chaotic yet I had fun. When you get sad, where do you go? At that time, you seek for latibule, somewhere you can seek comfort, somewhere you can let emotions out. Latibule is a Latin word for comfort. Your family is the reason you wake up everyday. Ikigai is the word for that. It’s a Japanese word which has a beautiful meaning. Everytime you wake up, who are those people who are going to make you smile? Gunnen. It's a Dutch word, which means to find happiness in someone else’s happiness because you love them. It’s what I feel like with my family. If they are happy I am happy as well. My home allows me to do what my heart desires. Sturmfrei is a German word for that. I always feel sturmfrei in my house and so should you! When I'm sad I'll go seek for latibule. Ikigai is the reason I wake up to see the smile on my family's face. Maybe some days it will feel selcouth. No matter what you feel, remember family ends with ‘ily’ which stands for I love you..! Which means everyone in the country deserves love and a home.
