"Counting the days until I'm back where the air smells familiar." "Taking the 'scenic route' through my old photos today." Homesick
In his seminal work The Poetics of Space , Gaston Bachelard posits that the home is our first universe, a site of intimate geometry where we form our earliest sense of security. Homesickness, therefore, is not triggered by the absence of four walls, but by the inaccessibility of that felt security. Crucially, the object of homesickness is a fictionalized past. Psychologists note that memory selectively edits traumatic or mundane details, leaving a “golden halo” around domestic spaces. Consequently, the homesick individual yearns for a place that never truly existed—a composite of Sundays, smells, and silence. Homesick: Stories: Cipri, Nino: 9781945814952 - Books -
