3/5/2014 0 Comments Home is Where the Heart IsIf there is one quote that has always stuck with me it is the one spoken by Jude Law in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. This film was based off of the first three novels in the Series of Unfortunate Events book series, but this quote exists only in the film. Jude Law, playing Lemony Snicket, says: "Sanctuary... is a word which here means a small, safe place in a troubling world. Like an oasis in a vast desert or an island in a stormy sea." This is something that I have thought about often throughout my life. Especially after my parents went through their divorce. It made me really begin to understand the difference between a house and a home. For too long I saw the house that I had grown up in as my home when in reality it was now just a home. When my mother left and things began to change, it no longer felt the same. I wasn't happy. I didn't feel like I was returning to my sanctuary when I returned from dance or school. After a long time I realized that the place I felt truly at home was when I was surrounded by my friends and family. These people and their love was home. It was not simply a building, it was where I found sanctuary. And I found sanctuary in my friends and when I visited with the rest of my family. We all find sanctuary in many different things, and therefore the word home means something different for everyone. I tend to find it frequently in nature, and even in just my hometown. MY heart belongs to Princeton, and I feel at my happiness when I go for long walks through the beautiful trees and forests of Wachusett Mountain (except not in the Winter). I have found my home in people and places and knowing this brings me great comfort. I think the key to happiness is just finding your sanctuary and finding your home and surrounding yourself with it.
