UrbanDictionary defines home as:

A word that means something different to each person who uses it. A person's home can be the place where they live, the place they grew up, or the place where the people they care about live. In the case of some people, home is a variable concept, changing dependant on the placement of another person or object, or a person may even consider his or her own body the only 'true' home.

or...

That person against whom you can rest your head and your heart and everything feels safe; the place where you are not alone.  The place where you are not alone. (yes, I intentionally repeated that)

Just some things I was thinking about.

Change.

I was writing a different post, but then was inspired to write this, and was looking up quotes about how people change (I like quotes, quotes are good).  I came across one that read "Theres no such thing as people changing, you only get to know them better."  I do not believe this too be true.  I've changed a lot in the last year, as I'm sure a lot of people have noticed.  I don't think change is bad, but its hard.

People don't expect you to change.  They expect you to stay exactly how they remember you, how they think they know you.  You get caught, trapped in being someone who you aren't anymore, someone who you used to be.  Sometimes you want to change, but you feel like you will lose people because they don't understand.  You've let yourself become defined as someone, and no one wants to let that definition change.  You aren't even sure if you CAN change it.

Or you change and people think something is wrong.  I used to be really talkitive, hyper, energetic.  Now I talk less.  Its not that I'm always sad, or down, or thinking really hard about some overwhelming obstacle in my life.  Sometimes, I'm sure that is a reason.  Sometimes, I'm just in a bad mood.  A lot of the time, I honestly just don't have anything to say.  I don't mind sitting and listening to other people talk (unless its morning, I'm still not a morning conversationalist).  Yet people assume that if I'm not talking or acting in an outgoing manner (I'm sure theres a word for that...I'm trying to get around using the word obnoxious because thats not quite what I'm looking for...) that there is something wrong with me.  Some assume, others ask.  I usually tell them I'm fine, and a lot of the time, I am.

Sometimes, people really are just fine.  A lot of people will ask, and they get the answer of "I'm fine" so they either ask again, or they just nod but don't believe it.  Which is okay, because sometimes people aren't fine.  But if they don't want to talk about it, its okay.  Maybe they just don't want to talk to YOU about it, or they aren't ready to.

Another quote for you, since I've been looking at them on and off while writing this.

 "I don't know that love changes.  People change.  Circumstances change."

They Say I'm Crazy.....

So, apparently I am the only teen on the face of the earth who has never seen Shrek. Am I really missing out? It doesnt look like anything remotely interesting, and the fact that everyone thinks I am crazy for having NOT seen it almost makes me want to not see it.  That way i can keep blowing minds and saying, yeah ive never seen it sorry.

I watch a lot of movies. How can it be that an awesome movie could escape my notice? Clearly, it isnt all that awesome.  Then again, there are loads of awesome movies that other people have managed to miss... like "A Knight's Tale." Or "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape."

Are there any other must-see movies that I havent seen?

Also, I looked up the bottom 100 movie list on IMDb (awesome movie site) and Ive seen two on that list.... iI didnt think they were that awful, but I see how they got there.
