This piece is a contribution to the STSC Symposium, a monthly set-theme collaboration between STSC writers. The topic for this upcoming issue is Home. He felt never home at home. He couldn’t grasp it but there was no ease ever. Rarely did he dare to invite friends to his place, even less often did he enjoy being there. Most other times, he’d miss no chance to leave the house that was no home.
Whoa, that last bit about an empty heart was a gut punch. Well done! Enjoyed this piece. My own anecdotal psychological investigations of those around me has shown that those of us raised with unconditional love really are separate/different from those who were raised with conditional love, but it never occurred to me to investigate those who felt no love.
