The experience of displacement is familiar due to separation from where I grew up and the people I grew up with. This displacement causes me to treasure-hunt areas that remind me of home. I start my pursuit of searching for a greater sense of self through location. I then discover that the idea of home is not just a physical place but names, colors, saints, prayers, and architecture. I realize that my heart is not far from the ones I love when I am surrounded by my culture.
