Day Three
Hundred and Twenty-Two: HOME
I was listening to an 8tracks playlist for motivation and
inspiration this morning, in a paisley summer dress while writing reference
proposals for my grad programs and Phillip Phillips came on with his song
Home. I mean, I’ve heard this before,
and it’s a bit overplayed, but I couldn’t help but start to cry. On the day that I am about to perform on
stage for the first time in five years, in a theatre that has become my home
not only because of how comfortable I am in it but by the people who have made
it so, and in a city where I’m about to finish my undergraduate degree with
incredible, amazing people, I just couldn’t take it.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about where my home is. Where do I want to be? I love Europe, and London is definitely one
of my homes, but I just… It hit me today that I’ve finally made Guelph my
home. I feel like a belong here, and
after four years that’s pretty substantial.
I am so grateful for the people I’ve met and the time I’ve spent here,
the things I’ve done and the things I’ve accomplished.
I am so proud right now.
I hope you find this or have found this. This feeling that you belong, but also that
you are important and can feel comfortable somewhere you thought you never
would. I am so grateful to the theatre
program here for accepting me and encouraging me, this has just been so
incredible.
I was going to wait until after the show tonight to write
this post, but I couldn’t after I heard this song. I can’t even explain how incredible this feeling
is. I am so grateful, and I can’t say
anything else about it.
