Is Anyone Else Homesick for An Unknown Place? Here is What Goes in the Mind of a Lost Person

I don’t know how to put this in words, well quite ironic, but my soul is homesick for a place I have never been to. A place that feels like a home to my soul but I don’t know if such a place even exists. A place that calls my name, screams at me and makes me feel incomplete without it. I feel caged. I feel suffocated and restless suddenly sometimes.

It’s almost like if I didn’t go to that imaginary place, I would not be able to breathe properly. It’s like my soul is walking down the roads of a street overflowing with flowers, trees, and plants. A place where you don’t see human inventions but the wonders of nature. A place that looks aesthetic like a mystical castle of Edinburgh.

Sometimes I think I am dreaming. Other times I want to travel the world and see all these places until my soul finally feels the peace of home. But then there are times when I wonder, ‘maybe in my previous life, I have been to such a place and my soul is homesick for its old home’

Am I going crazy? Am I losing my mind?

Some would say that.

Some people may think I am exaggerating. While other people will leave this article in between thinking, ‘this is not adding any value to my life. This article didn’t tell me
