threeliddlebirdies

i know i knowww its like almost day 4. but ive had a busy day and now is the time to post about day 3's challenge.
ive been pondering todays question for a little minute..its a tough one.


day3. A picture and/or description of your favorite place in your world. And I’m not talking about like France or Greece. I’m talking somewhere you visit daily or atleast fairly often.


this was hard for me because so many things came to mind. theres lots of places i like to go- but then i looked at the question again and it said, favorite place IN THE WORLD. woah intense. so i thought about it and i feel pretty good about my answer.


home.

i chose my house (since i dont live there anymore i feel like its justified as a place i visit often, as i do).

ive grown up in the same house for all my 21 years of living. ive switched around bedrooms multiple times, watched it go under construction, create a new backyard, go from orange/red to a dark grey/green, expand in all directions, loose the best fruit trees ever plus many other trees, & even go from a place of 8 people to 4. Ive watched it grow up, ive watched it on days when its quiet, days when its loud, days when its sad, days when its a non stop party. ive seen people come and go and come back, ive watched shoes be taken off at the front and back door and get in trouble if they travel anywhere else. ive seen temper tantrums, ive seen tears, ive seen growth and ive seen miracles beyond belief. its the house that i grew up in- the place where i call home and the place i know where i can go to if i need somewhere to run to. I know its just a piece of architecture, a piece of work- and that most of the sentimental value comes from the memories, but i cant help but feel connected to every nook and crany, doorknob and all. i love that i have solid knowledge that i could get from one end, up and down with my eyes clothes in the pitch dark. its been a place of comfort, a place where love is found and shared. its not a perfect place, but its where my family was placed together in a tight knit to learn and grow and experience what a home and family is really all about.


and so THAT is why home is my favorite place IN THE WORLD.
