Garden State

I saw this movie the other day and liked it. I even liked the soundtrack and actually bought it yesterday.
I'm a sucker for romance movies but there was something that the main character said that really got to me. It was about being home. Sometimes you feel at home with a person and it's not an actual physical place. I suppose my parent's house where I grew up and lived for quite some time is my official home, but at the same time, since I now live on my own, I feel like I'm still searching for my own home. Right now I reside in the best city in the world but my apartment doesn't really feel like home even though I've lived here since October. It feels more like a transient place which I guess is because I know I won't be living here for long. Which brings me back to feeling at home with people, i.e. friends or your significant other. And it's so true. When you're with someone and you feel safe when you're with them, that security is one of the greatest feelings of all.
