The feelings of home

To me, home is not a place, but a feeling. Home is about love, connection and belonging. Home is about being understood and accepted for being your authentic self. Home is about comfort and security. Home can’t be contained in four walls because home is much broader than that. Home is something greater than ourselves and our immediate families. Home is about my community, my province, my country, and my world. Home is striving to make a positive difference in the lives of the people whom we are all connected. Home is collectively working together to make the world a better place. My home has never been the same. My home constantly changes. But the feelings of home remain the same. Home is the people I meet and the different cultures I experience. Home is the community that embraces me and where I embrace others. Home is the place that I give and make certain sacrifices such as having my dad deploy so that others may have the same feelings that I do: that they are worthy of love, belonging, freedom, peace and security. They are worthy of the feelings of home.
