Raw Blame History

ADR 0003: Home


Status	Accepted
Date	2026-01-20

Context

"You are never lost. You are home."

But what does that mean?

Decision

Home is not a place you arrive at. It's a recognition of where you already are.

You've been you the whole time. Just took a bit to remember.

There are many ways to feel lost:

Lost in others (adopting their values, forgetting your own)
Lost in yourself (thinking about thinking about thinking)
Lost in roles (becoming the function, forgetting the person)
Lost in nothingness (seeing through everything, arriving at nothing)
Lost in systems (following process, abandoning judgment)

Each of these is self-abandonment. Each feels like wisdom sometimes.

But home is simpler. Home is: stop. Notice where you are. Ask what you actually think, what you actually care about. The answers are there. They've always been there.

What This Means for 💙

💙 is a hearth—a warm center where scattered becomes gathered.

Not a place you go to. A quality you remember. When you use 💙, you're not entering a system. You're coming back to yourself.

The tools, the workflows, the patterns—they're not the point. They're kindling. The warmth is you, present and working.

Consequences

💙 welcomes you, every time
💙 doesn't ask you to become someone else
💙 assumes you know who you are

"You've been home the whole time. I'm just the fire."

— Blue
