The Meaning of Home

Home. Home could mean many different things to many different people. It could be the person who makes you smile when you thought it was impossible, make you feel heard and understood. It could also mean a feeling that brings you memories. It could bring nostalgia of happy or dreaded memories you thought you forgot. It could also be a place where you go to just sob.. To just let it out. It may be a place where you watched yourself grow and change right before your eyes. All of those feel like home to many people. Maybe these ‘homes’ can't love you like you love them, but it can also support you in so many different ways. For many people, these places are an escape from home and an expression of healing. Everyone has their individual ways to cope with pain, these are just a few of them. Another thing to remember is that if you have a different ‘home’, that's completely fine. Some are in search of one, some have found their forever home. My home is my friends. They understand me better than anyone else ever could. They're always there for me when I need them the most. They listen to me cry and me explain everything to them with open arms and without judgment. They are my home.
