Your attempts to anchor your emotional arrival to planet Dena and the aid received from ThatBomberBoi reminded me of two memories I submitted during the previous iteration of Timestamp Submission. One for August 10th 2016 and then one for the day I found it again.
I decided to combine the text of both memories and submit them for the date I returned to my starting planet, September 26th 2024.

Memory Quote:
I was born on to a fiery planet in the Gaemoss system, nestled in the Yudinipikus region. After leaving Euclid, I would erase my journey, to return to Euclid, but lose my way to the land I was born in… 8 years later, using the aid of Archived data; footage and images from the day… I would retrace my steps and find my way back there. My way back Home.
After years of longing for the return to my Birth System, to see how it had changed, if it had grown as much as I had in the intervening years… I set out to find it again. I was grateful that my past self made efforts to catalogue and archive their journey, others were not so fortunate. Some may never find their way back.
The quick flash of an address from a signal booster in passing. The aid of the Pilgrim Star Path app that guided so many Travellers to meeting points in the early days. These would be my ticket home.
It was on this day, at this hour, at this minute and exact second, I found it again. It’s good to be home. It was good, to be back. Yudinipikus was waiting for me with open celestial arms. She lifted up her wing; I guess that this must be the place.
