I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.

I believe that the concept of leaving home is an illusion because its influence remains within us regardless of physical distance. The feelings, memories, and experiences of home are deeply embedded in our being, shaping who we are. These elements are always present, manifesting subtly in our thoughts and reactions.

Maya Angelou emphasizes that the emotional and psychological ties to home are inseparable from our identity and continue to influence us in ways that are often invisible, yet profound.
