Shelter

Child, why did no one ever teach you that you cannot turn people into homes? You see, people are not like bricks and mortar, sturdy and unchanging. They are like rivers, constantly flowing and evolving. No matter how much love and care you pour into someone, they will never be a permanent shelter for your soul.

Your home, dear child, does have a heartbeat. But it is not found in the chests of others. It is nestled deep within your own being, waiting for you to discover it. It is the rhythm of your own breath, the pulse of your own heart. It is the warmth that radiates from within, the light that guides you through the darkest of nights.

So, do not search for refuge in the arms of another. Do not seek solace in the fleeting comfort of someone else's embrace. Instead, turn inward and find the sanctuary that lies within you. Embrace your own strength, your own resilience. Build a home within yourself, a place where you can always find peace and security.

Remember, dear child, you are the architect of your own happiness. You are the master of your own destiny. So, do not look to others to provide you with shelter. Look within, and you will find that you are already home.
