To refer to Dema as home has never felt accurate. Dema, to me, has simply been the place that I've existed, or, the "slot," they've put me in.
I've heard stories about the idea of "home," and it's description has always seemed warn from the storyteller's description. Here was a co-ownership of the place they've inhabited that I've admired, but could never relate to.
This place, my place, however, sirens devoid of the romance and I wonder that the old stories tell. But somewhere between the iron order and infallible revision of Dema, a home of wonder exists. It's this quiet wonder that my mind tends to get lost in.
This hope of discovery alone has birthed a new version of myself; a better version, I hope, that will find a way to experience what's beyond these colossal walls.
