What does home mean to me?

Home is something that you or someone else can’t take away. For some it can mean having a shelter or having a family in some place. Having a home is a blessing and it means different things. But what does home mean to me? Home means having a shelter/place to live in. But if you don’t it could mean having a place where you are comfortable, no one judging you. My home is a place I like, like I said, a place I'm comfortable in. However, on Google the definition for home is: ‘’the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of the family or household’’. What Google is saying is technically correct but not for me. For me it's a gathering of people that you know or love. Where I'm from they don’t really have a shelter, it's a gathering of people that you know or love. So therefore for me that’s the true definition of home…to me. Like I said, home is a gathering of people that you know and/or love. Whether it's your family, friends, loved ones, etc. Home is a comfortable place where you like to live. The true meaning of home is different to many people like me!
