so i had dinner last night with a friend that i had not seen or been in much contact with for a little over a year. it was nice to see him, but i think he was more than a bit surprised by my changes in my outlook on life, love, and relationship. after we parted ways, his reaction did have me wondering if maybe i've become a bit more hardened and less optimistic about the prospects for my life. or is it i have become open to different possibilities than i would have entertained previously and am learning to be content with them?
whatever the case, i awoke this morning with this song in my mind. it's from the very first broadway show i ever experienced. my mother took me and a friend to see it for my 10th birthday and this particular song has been imbedded in my heart ever since. interestingly enough, this blog takes its name from another song that also explores the concept of "home." that is the title of the song i am sharing here, and while i think my perspectives on how the lyrics fit my life at this time have shifted somewhat, the same ideals and hopes about what home should mean remain.
