Onde é o lar?

Home is increasingly less about birthplace or nationality and more about the communities and moments that shape a person. With 220 million people now living outside their country of origin, identity grows complex and multi-layered. After losing everything in a wildfire, the speaker discovered that home can be something carried within, rather than a physical space. In a world of constant movement, true belonging often comes from stillness and self-reflection.

Home Is Not a Place, But the Soul We Build

Home is no longer tied to ancestry or geography, but shaped by the experiences and connections a person makes. With 220 million people living outside their birth countries, many now build identity from a mosaic of cultures and relationships rather than a single origin. After losing his house to a California wildfire, the speaker realized true belonging resided in memories, values, and loved ones, not possessions. In a rapidly moving world, pausing for stillness reveals what matters most and helps us find where we truly stand.
