What Does Home Mean to You

To me, home is a place where I can be Me. Where I can express myself without judgment from others. Where I can speak my free mind and not get insulted for what comes out of my mouth. Where I can be surrounded by people who love me unconditionally even if I make a tiny mistake or a huge mistake. Where I can be creative, sensitive, strong, silly, and all kinds of different emotions at once. Where I can be who or whatever I want to be with confidence and without judgment from others. Where I can go to share my thoughts and feelings without criticism from anyone else's opinions. Where I can be the real me, not the girl hidden behind a fake smile. Where I can be comforted when I am upset, mad, sad, confused, and frustrated or just in a lot of emotional pain and need a shoulder to cry on and need someone to help ease the pain. Where I can stop acting, sitting, looking like, eating, and doing things that society wants me to do. Instead to do things the way I want do them, like the way I want to act, sit, look, eat, and do things. This is what Home means to Me!
