From childhoods hour
I have not been
As others were
I have not seen
As others saw
I could not bring
My passions from
A common spring
From the same source
I have not taken
My sorrows
I could not awaken
My heart to joy
At the same tone
And all that I've loved
I've loved alone

...........Edgar Allen Poe

"It is good to feel lost... because it proves you have a navigational sense of where "Home" is. You know that a place that feels like being found exists.
