Abstract

The article "On Going Home" explores the author's complex feelings of homesickness and resistance towards returning to their native Washington DC area due to family dynamics and expectations. As the oldest daughter in a multi-generational family, the author navigates a liminal space of responsibility and pressure. A recent trip home provided the author with restorative clarity, grounding, and a renewed perspective on personal anxieties and challenges. The DMV region is portrayed as a unique place of resilience, ambition, and pride that shapes those who were raised in its energetic environment. [Extracted from the article]
