the only place where the mess is yours and that's the whole point
means The place where you live and feel you belong — your base, your refuge, the address your heart files under 'mine.'
from From Old English 'ham,' meaning a dwelling, village, or estate — the same root that hides inside place-names ending in '-ham,' like Birmingham and Nottingham. It belongs to a wide Germanic family (compare German 'Heim' and Dutch 'heem'), and scholars trace it further back to a Proto-Indo-European root suggesting a settlement or lying-down place. So 'home' has always carried that double sense: a spot on the map, and the spot where you finally stop moving.
