It can mean the physical sense as in literally where I live, or places where I've made memories, attachments, comfort, a sense of belonging and more.

To me, Home is simply the place where I felt the most 'alive' and made the most memories, good and bad ones, the feelings of nostalgia.

What I intended to primarily communicate is that as time progresses, there exists a significant disparity between the photographs captured back then and the ones taken at present. However, despite this temporal shift, the emotions and sentiments associated with those moments remain unchanged.

Nevertheless, several possessions from that time still remain, and when I encounter them today, a profound surge of emotions engulfs me.]]> 2023-08-04 00:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/213154b3/s0v5eeug32dfr12k/wish/2655779230 213154b3 https://padlet.com/213154b3/s0v5eeug32dfr12k/wish/2664574295 First Picture with Grandma back then.

The reason I felt that this and the first two photos with my Grandmother was home to me was because this feeling came from the fact that my grandma lives far away in Malaysia and rarely visits Singapore.
