Meaning of Home

Sometimes, I sit back and think, what could be the true meaning of home? Is it knowing that you have safety and comfort there? Is it your family or pets? Or maybe is the true meaning of home possibly even a favourite spot in your home? I think of all the memories I've had in my home. I think of how many emotions I have felt there. How many unforgettable moments I’ve had, the sad, and happy. If someone were to ask me: ¨ What is something that makes a house and a home different?¨, I would have to say family. Sure, there are decorations, furniture and rooms, but I wouldn't consider those things home. Family is the thing most important in this world to me. These are the people who help me do my homework, help me grow, and most importantly, love me with everything they have. Why do you think everyone deserves a home? I think that everyone deserves a home, because everyone needs a place to feel comfort and safety. I feel like everyone needs a home, because a home is the place to look forward to coming to, to rest, and to wake up every morning. But the question is, what is the meaning of home? The meaning of home is kindness, comfort, family, and the feeling of being loved. A home is the place to stay warm and grow. A home is the place to cry all your tears, and shout all your laughs. The true meaning of home isn't the objects, but the true meaning of home is determined with the people you share it with. I hope that this helped you understand the true meaning of home. Remember, The meaning of home isn't the price, but love within it.
