The Meaning of Home

I think the meaning of home is the feeling you have. The feeling when I walk into my house from school and I feel the love from my family. I love the feeling of how they are always asking me how my day at school was. I love the feeling of the hugs and kisses from my parents. I love the feeling of love in homes. I love when you walk into your home and your mind says “I have been here before”, and then a flashback of memories comes back to you of your home. I love the feeling of memories that come to you in your home. I love when you feel comfortable in your home. When you are relaxing on your bed or couch and then you feel so comfortable you don’t want to get up. That's the feeling I love, the feeling of being so relaxed or comfortable. I love the feeling of knowing that you're safe in your home and that your home is your shelter. I love the feeling of when you feel safe. When you walk into your house you know there’s nothing to stress about. I mean, you should always feel safe in your home. I love the feeling of no stress. Do you ever have it when you're in your house all alone you're worried but your brain is telling you not to worry and that there is nothing to worry about. I mean, when you're in your home it should be a place where you know there's nothing to worry about. I love the feeling that you don’t have to worry. When you are trying to do something that's difficult and you get so frustrated then your mom or dad or sibling comes to help you with care. I love the feeling of being comforted. When you are in your house and you're all alone then your mom comes to sit beside you and you love the company and how the company makes you feel. When you walk into your house (maybe from school) do you ever have the feeling of love, comfort, safety, relaxation, care, company or memorable moments in your house? Do you like that feeling? I think that’s what the meaning of home is.
