When I first moved to the US it was understandable that I was disorientated and lost. Nothing was familiar to me at all. It wasn’t until I first stepped onto the soccer field that i felt some sense of comfort because no matter where I am, I know soccer, the field will never change on me and the rules are universal. I am home when I am on the soccer field. I have realised that there is nothing wrong with making my home wherever i need it to be. i need a home in the US, so im going to make Caldwell my home, im going to accept the offer of my friends and have their homes too. We are not limited to one "home", i guess thats why they call it a "home away from home". i dont need to be homeless for the next four years, i have a home. not just one but four. have you ever thought what your home away from home is?
Weird. I have had very similar experiences with baseball. Although I have played in tournaments away from home and the hotels felt a little odd, everything seemed to change as soon as I was on the baseball field. It is a very comfortable feeling.
