Different Meanings Of A Home

A home has so many different meanings to each and every one of us, that we may not be aware. M.K. Soni said “A house is made of brick and mortar, but a home is made by the people who live there”. A home can be a building like a house or apartment where someone like a family lives inside. It is not about how big or small or the space you have, but it is about what people can provide. It does not mean that you have to have a kitchen with appliances or a bathroom with a vanity. But a home could have people of different nationality and living a life of reality. It is not about having a bedroom to sleep in or a living room to socialize for entertainments. A home is having a family who do things and plan things together and have other engagements. Not only is a home a setting or place where there is a roof over your head, but a home where you feel the most love from and for the people around you instead. A home is where you have your parents, siblings, relatives, pets and foundation of a loving family. It is the people around you, the ones you invite inside and the ones you welcome happily. A home is not only a place to go to where you sheltered, but it is also a feeling. It is a place where you feel safe to go to and where there is love, comfort and healing. A home is where you can make it cozy and warm, and feel all relax. It is where you can get all your rest and be most comfortable to be yourself to the max. In your home, you have privacy, it provides protection and feeling of security. It is where a couple can have children and raise a family to maturity. Home is where a person grows up in, share their feelings, get their education and learn. It is where you are not judged or treated any differently, where everyone for each other is concern. You shall be forgiven even if you have many flaws and make many mistakes and do this on repetitions Because in a home, you are loved without any restrictions, expectations or conditions. Your uniqueness is most valued, you comfortably fit in and you are accepted. The people around you in your home treat you good and you feel respected. A home tells a story where love begins and where a family shares all their interests in life. It is the center of the family or the people you live with, whether it is the children, husband or wife. Home is a place where you have a connection to build memories and a future with family and friends. Home is not only a place but a feeling that you belong, you feel free and it never ends. It is the greatest reflection of yourself, so keep it clean, neat and love your home as you would love yourself.
