What Home Means To Us

Haven’t you ever felt the nice, warm feeling of home? Sitting around comfortably with your family, your friends and your loved ones, with the yummy smell of tonight’s dinner in the air? I'm sure you have, and to me, home is the best feeling in the world. Home isn't just the four walls, the roof, and the couch you love to sit on. Home means feeling belonged. It means feeling like you have your place on the shelf, like you're a fish in the sea, or a bright flower in a garden. It means that you can feel welcomed and appreciated. When I feel like I’m at home, I don't need to feel stressed or uncomfortable because I feel belonged. Home also means you can feel loved by everyone around you. Like you can feel respected, like you can feel noticed, and happy because of the people you have around you. When I feel alone, I often feel nervous and worried, but when I have my friends and family around me, I feel supported by them because I don't feel alone at all. And of course, home means that you can feel safe and comfortable. It means you are able to have the assurement that you will be okay in the end and now and that everything will turn out happily. When I feel safe and comfortable, I know I can trust everyone around me without having to have any concerns or being stressed at all. In conclusion, home is really a great feeling with so many wonderful things and people about it. Home means feeling welcomed, belonged, appreciated, loved, respected, noticed, comfortable and safe. It doesn't just mean sitting on your couch lazily watching your TV. It means feeling happy and feeling like this is really where you can be the best person you can be.
