HOME!

Home, 

the spot of earth supremely best. A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest! 

Robert Montgomery

There is nothing half so pleasant as coming home again!

And yet..where is home?

What is home?

I image, and hope, that to most people there is only one HOME!

Though, I (and probably many of my fellow-models-super-duper-friends)

feel lost in the polysemic meaning of that HOME-concept!

We say HOME much more often than we actually have the pleasure of going there...

"I am going home" may well mean:

a) I am going back to the model flat, which i share with 6 more girls, after a full day of castings.

b) I am going to my hotel room after a whole day shoot on the beach someplace  in a time zone different than that of any of my facebook friends who might still be awake...

c) I am going back to my friend's place where I am staying for now until I find somewhere more permanent...

We tend to call HOME any place we have left our suitcase 

and we forget that home means a lot more than just that!

When we want to say that we are finally going home we say:

"I AM GOING HOME-HOME!"

This means the real home!

So, there I am in my HOME-HOME!

I collected some thoughts about HOME and put them under the pictures I took in the countryside last weekend!

Don't worry I don't live in a forest! 

And that building down there is not my medieval castle, it is the Monastery I've been christened in!

 “HOME is a place you grow up wanting to leave, 

and grow old wanting to get back to” 

John Ed Pearce

 “No matter under what circumstances you leave it, HOME does not cease to be HOME. No matter how you lived there-well or poorly.” 

Joseph Brodsky

 “HOME is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
Robert Frost

 When you're safe at HOME you wish you were having an adventure; 

when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at HOME”

Thornton Wilder

Be grateful for the HOME you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.
Sarah Ban Breathnach

 Here's kind of my motto - if you're not happy at HOME, you're not happy anywhere else.
Angie Harmon

 HOME is where you can say anything you please, 

because nobody pays any attention to you anyway”

Joe Monroe

 “HOME is the place where it feels right to walk around without shoes”

 "HOME is one's birthplace, ratified by memory."
Henry Anatole Grunwald

 HOME is HOME, be it ever so humble...

 "HOME is the place we love best and grumble the most."
Billy Sunday

 “HOME is a name, 

a word, it is a strong one;

stronger than magician ever spoke, 

or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.”

Charles Dickens

 Every day is a journey, 

and the journey itself is HOME.”

Matsuo Basho

 "HOME is an invention on which no one has yet improved."
Ann Douglas

“There are things you just can't do in life.

You can't beat the phone company, you can't make a waiter see you until he's ready to see you, and you can't go HOME again.” 

 Bill Bryson
