Meaning of Home

The meaning of home is different in every person's eyes. For example, maybe someone without the privilege of a home will think of it as a dream, compared to someone who takes it for granted. Some people may think a home is just the place that shelters you day and night but, it's way more than that. A house is the place that shelters you, while home is a place where you grow bonds under the same roof as a family. A home is the place where you see a loving family living in peace. A home is a place where you have no fear of doing what you want and doing what you like. A home can be the one place where you smell and taste your family cooking the meals that are original to you. A home can be the place where you hear the beautiful music in a language that only you and your family understands. A home is where we feel harmony and peace under one roof together. Even if you don't have one, there's always a touch of home in your heart. It's also a place where you make memories that last a lifetime. A home is your own little community that is your family. You can have two houses, but not two homes. If you are from two different countries, that whole thing is one home that belongs to you. Maybe my understanding of a home here is totally different from yours, like how it is different in every person's eyes, but one thing's for sure, everyone belongs in a home, no matter anything at all.
