What Home Means To Me

To me, a home is not just an abode built to live in. Home is a place where one not only feels comfortable, but a place they look forward to opportunely live in every day. A home is built not by bricks or wood but with the bond of family. A home is a place that reminds a person of countless memories and values. Family is what makes a house a home. Home is where your mum’s warm embrace and your dad's wise words guide you through life. A person could have every material entity in the entire world but it would mean nothing if he does not have someone to share it with. Home is also related to sharing the happiness, grief, and material things with one’s family. A home gives people a place to care about the people that mean the most to them. It is a place to tell amusing tales, a good story, or make memorable memories with one another. Furthermore, home is more than a place; it is a feeling. It is a feeling of contentment and happiness that they share with the ones they love. Home is when one knows they are with people that can drive them insane in a second, and the same people can make them happy in a second as well. Home means that no matter what one is going through, no matter how challenging life gets, there will be someone looking out for them. One knows that a place is their home when they are comfortable enough to present a true description of themselves because they know that they will receive acceptance. It is a sanctuary for them where they can do anything they please and not be judged afterwards.
