My Opinion on the Meaning of Home

"The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave and it feels even better to come back" Quote by Wendy Wonder. The meaning of home is a lot of things but the most important things for me are the comfiness, memories and family. To start off ,when I'm at home I always feel different from outside because I'm not scared of expressing myself or my emotions, for instance ,I'm always scared of singing or dancing in front of people but at home I feel like I can do anything nobody judging me and no worries about doing something wrong .On the other hand, emotions are something I find really hard to express but home is the only place I bring out sadness like crying and stuff like that. Moving on, home is part of your life and so are the memories that come with it and those memories are what represents your point of view on your home. For example, if you think about it you've probably cried a lot at home especially while you were growing up in your childhood home because of your parents or siblings if you have siblings. People who feel sad to leave their childhood home are probably sad because it brings out more good memories than bad and it actually feels like a real home. Lastly, everyone has at least one person to call family and by family I don't mean by blood I mean by people you love and care about. Personally, I can never live alone without someone I love, that's the most important thing about a home: love and care. For example, it can be a pet or a friend. I don't really have to be a person! As shown above, you could represent home as many different things. For me it's being comfortable, memories and always being around the people you love every day. If I asked what home meant to you, what would you say?
