What Home Means to Me

Home is a wonderful place that’s everywhere. From the forest to a house, home is every where. It's in the air. The criteria for a house are very simple. You live there but that’s too straightforward. There must be a more complex definition. A yes, I have found it. A home is somewhere that you have lived for a long time. That’s much better. Now its time for my opinion on home. Home should be comforting in lots of ways like having family or a community. There’s also comforting in way of having a safe space. An example would be a room, a group of people or just a friend. A safe place can be a person that you are comfortable talking to or being around. The last thing that I think is related to home is making other people feel like they are home. It's super important to make other people feel like they are home because if you don’t they will feel lonely and isolated from the world. They might stop doing social things. They’ll feel bad and empty and that’s not good. All YOU have to do is say hi or what’s up and they know they have purpose because you said hi. That’s all my opinions on home.
