What is Home?

WHAT IS HOME? Hi, I’m Jaapsidak Saini, and today I will talk about a question that’s been sitting in my head quite a while before I started writing this. The question of home and what bit is. Many times I have thought about what home truly is, whether I thought laying on my bed simply waiting to fall asleep or a random thought that just popped into my mind. My first idea of home was my house. The big brick building I live in. Well, my house is comfortable and a safe place for me. I have all I want and need at my fingertip. I never needing to go outside my comfort zone. But something tells me home is deeper than just comfort. My second thought of home was earth. That’s right, the big blue and green planet we all seem to call home. Earth and it’s resources do help me live and flourish, blooming in life. I seem to have everything I need on this planet, and it seems to keep me alive. However, I don’t really know if the fact of living is even related to home and the whole concept of home. Well, I’m starting to run out od ideas here. Maybe I’ll never really know what home means. At least that’s what I thought to myself. But now I know what home means. Home is a place were you not only feel safe or the fact of living. Home can be anywhere, to me the concept of home is a place were your safe and happy. A place where you can be with those you love, your family and friends. Home is a place where you can simply be you. At last, I know what home means. I finally know the whole concept of home. I guess I can finally go to sleep now. Well, I’m going to go do that. I hope to talk to again, until then goodbye.
