What's the Meaning of Home?

The meaning of home to me is hearing my mom cook my favourite meal, or me and my dad playing video games. It's also when me and my dog go for walks and play at the park, and me and my neighbour bring our dogs for a playdate. It’s when I feel safe walking to school or walking home with my friend. Home is when I can take a nap without my neighbours knocking on my door. I can listen to my favourite songs with any interruptions. Home is game night and pulling an all nighter with my cousins. Home is when I go to Birthday parties, Christmas parties and New Year’s eve parties. Home is where I live and feel comfortable. Home is where I live with my family, or my city or town I live in. Home is Ontario and Canada. Home is the world, the universe and the Galaxy. Home is Whitby, St. Marks. Home is my community. Home is going to the movies with my friends and family. Home is when the kids in my street are not screaming. Home is my pillow and bed where I can sleep peacefully at night.
