Home Meaning

Home means a safe place to live. It’s a physical space, where we can stay temporarily or live forever. A home is somewhere that people – or animals, for the record – feel safe and secure. Home can mean a house or a building, but it can also mean a sheltering environment. A house keeps all of you and all of your belongings protected and invulnerable, with a single turn of a key. A protecting environment is somewhere you can stay temporarily – or forever, if you enjoy it – without the more expensive cost of a building. A home is somewhere that you can be yourself. A safe place where nobody is judging. It’s your base, and like a person, a home will support you for whatever is coming your way. No matter what happens, it will be there for you to return to after a hard battle. It’s there for you when you wake up in the morning, and it’ll be there for you when you go to bed at night. It’s a space filled with the things that you love and appreciate. It’s a place that sparks joy and comfort. A home creates memories. Strong, inseparable bonds with your loved ones. No matter what kind of home you have, it’s something to be grateful for. -Hyobin Lee, Grade 6 <3
