The meaning of home

The meaning of home is very different for everyone. It could be your style, your own home and whatever makes you comfortable. My meaning of home is freedom, scent+ traditions and family. Because almost all of them bring back memories and they are all very important to me. Freedom is very important because you are able to be whoever you want to be. You can dress however you want and you can look however you want. Nobody can judge you and control you, and whatever makes you comfortable then nobody should tell you what to do, because you should be able to live your life the way you want to live it. Scent and traditions are important because they bring back memories and they have a lot to do with family and friends. When I smell a nice turkey dinner I think of my Oma's house, because it makes me think about all the gatherings she's hosted with my cousins and aunts and uncles. And when I smell campfire and fresh water I think of all the times me and friends have gone tubing on my lake and lake parties at my neighbors house. Family is very important to me and the meaning of home because I love my family and they live in my home. I have a twin sister named Maelle and an older sister named Julia, and a mom and a dad. Also my aunts and uncles, my cousins and grandparents are a big part of my life too. I also have pets, my dog, Hugo, my dad's geckos, my dad's snakes, and the animals that live around me. Family makes me happy and I am so grateful I have one. I think everyone is different, so everyone probably has different meanings of home. Mine is super important to me because it notes almost everything I want to be home. It is important that everyone can feel safe in their home and I think I did a good job of pointing those out. I hope you liked my reasoning, thank you. :)
