What does home mean to me?

“What does home mean to you?” A lot of people would usually say “A building that covers my head.” But it took me a while to think about it. But then I realized. Home to me isn't a building. It's all the special people that have come into my life. I call them my home because I know no matter what, they will ALWAYS support me. My mum has always supported me the most. I would always talk to her about my problems and my feelings, and never once had she yelled at me for telling the truth. My dad teaches me how to be strong. Yes, he does yell, but most of the time but I know hes just trying to help me feel like a stronger person. My brother and I don’t get along very well, but even I know that he supports me and loves me so much. My friends feel so much like family. I talk to them about EVERYTHING. They probably know me better than my mum does. I also talk to them about my problems, and they always find a solution to help me feel like I'm already at home. I love my friends and I also know they love me too. I love my meaning of a home.
