Garden State pool conversation.

"You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? And all of a sudden even though you have a place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone."

"I still feel at home in my house."

"You'll see one day when you move out... it sort of happens one day and it's gone. And it's like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe its like this right of passage, you know. You won't ever have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself. For, for your kids, for the family you start. It's like a cycle, or something. But I don't know, I miss the idea of it, you know.
Maybe that's all a family really is, a group of people that miss the same imaginary place."

"Maybe."
