The Meaning of Home

What is the meaning of home? Many people have different opinions on what home means. Some think it’s a feeling and others think of it as a place, but here’s what I think the meaning of home really is. Home’s a place where you can be yourself, without being judged or shamed. You can express yourself in new ways without fear. You can take on new projects that you might make mistakes on. But it’s okay to make mistakes, you'll only learn from them. A home is a place where you feel safe and protected. Like a friend that’s always there to comfort you. Home is where family is. It’s where family can flourish and mature. Home is where you’re happy. A home is something that’s different for everyone, but to me my home is a very special place.
