The meaning of home

Many people think that a ‘home’ is where you live, a place where you sleep, cook, eat, and much more, that’s not always true though. The meaning of home is a place where you feel like you belong, where you feel safe and welcome, it’s a place where you can relax and feel comfort. A home doesn’t have to be a place you live, just a place you feel comfortable and happy at, home can be with a person, in a place, or even both! You can put places you feel comfortable at or people you feel comfortable with into different groups, the first group are people and places you feel normal in with little fear, you would call that your ‘comfort zone’. Then the second would be a place or people you feel ‘comfortable’ or secure with, that would be your ‘happy place’. Then, there are the places and people you put your trust in, feel happy with, enjoy, and feel comfortable with or in, those are your ‘safepoints’. Finally, there are the places and people you would be in or be with forever if you could, that is a ‘home’.
