How about some cuddles?
No matter where you hale from, you can build your home on the spot you are. Times may be tough, tears may fall, you will feel alone. But what of it? This is your claim to make. You're here now, and no matter what, God damn it, you'll leave your mark on this place, this time, these people! Here is home because you say it, to hell with everything else! One day, maybe soon or maybe not until very, very late, you may again visit where home was. Good and sad memories will fill your mind, and for a moment, you will regret that things have changed. "Why can't it be like I remember it?" But that thought will be fleeting, as it was what it needed to be for you to be you, now it is that for someone else. And you'll think about the home you made, that you chose. Maybe some bad choices, maybe some bad choices you'd do all over again. But you'll know, you *made* that. And you'll be proud. (If that didn't cheer you up, I'm sorry.)
