>You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

This was not the feel I needed right now. I don't know a more specific word than nostalgia for this

Most bildungsromans address this in some way or another. As for me my own childhood sense of home is long gone but the fact that I can create such a thing for my daughter, even if she looks back sadly like we all do in the end, makes all the difference.

OP's not talking about fucking ET you moron, but most definetly the childish sense and unaware security of belonging to the comfort of one home.

I am having this feel right now. I moved to a major city for my first job and it all feels like a dream, but I know it isn't. I can't give you a book suggestion, though, sorry!

Fuck you OP. Too much feel, too close to home

I think my fav 2 books that really go hard on this vibe are -

William Gibson - Count Zero
Haruki Murakami - Kafka on the Shore
