Meaning of Home

Home is a place where you're loved, cared for, and accepted for who you are. It's a place where you can cry, and let out all the emotions you've held in for the day. It’s a safe place to be who you are no matter what, and do things you like without being judged. It's not just a place. Home is a place to accept your differences, your body, your hobbies, your stresses, and yourself. It’s a place to sing your favorite songs and argue with your siblings over things that barely matter at all. It’s a place to forget about beauty standards, trends, status quo, and what's cool and what's not. But it’s not just a place. Home is a place to scream into your pillow when you're mad, to be forgiven and to forgive. It's a place to celebrate holidays, birthdays, vacations, and any time you get to spend with your family. It’s a place to feel mellow and numb with emotions, and not being able to tell if you're feeling everything or nothing. It’s much more than just a place. It’s a whole feeling, and it's safe. It’s much more than we give it credit for. It’s home.
