The meaning of home

The meaning of home is different to so many people. It can be scary or fun and enjoyable. The meaning of home to me is safe, calming and unique. It feels safe, it feels safe because it’s what I know and I can't get lost in it. It doesn't feel like someone can easily kill me and I can die at any moment. It’s not like when I am at my house I half to worry about doing something horribly wrong, that people will start to hate me for, people can pay attention to the tiniest things and I find myself worrying about stuff that can happen,like once someone threatened to stab me because I was sticking up for my friend.she just broke up with this guy for ne reason, he just broke up with her for no reason,of course I stuck up for her, now i know now they were not going to stab me, but back then it was one of the scariest things that ever happened to me. so my house feels safe.because stuff like that can’t happen to me ,or something even worse. It’s calming, I am always think that people are making fun of me but at my house the people who think are doing that aren't there, there is also not a lot of stress from school work, making simple mistakes and bullies. Once I got bullied because of what sweater I was wearing, it wasn’t even a wired sweater, they just wanted to be mean for no reason, they didn’t even know who i was, but that never happens at home. I find my home is unique. I feel like my family does things other families might not do. My home also looks different and i find the setting when i get home is very unique and my family plays a big role in it, I don’t think there is any family like mine, i’m not saying we always get along, i don’t think any family always gets along but when we do get along, the times we spend together are very special. In conclusion, the meaning of home to me is, safe, calming and unique.
