The Meaning of Home

Home can mean different things to different people. What does home mean to you? To me, home means nature, fighting and privacy. First, nature is important in a home. Nature is calming, and helps us connect to each other. Watching animals, and going on walks is a great way to spend time with family and friends. Gardens are a part of many homes, including mine. That's why I think nature is important in homes. Next, fighting can be very important in a home, too. Fighting means disagreement, but hopefully forgiveness in the end. Fighting can be good, like sticking up for what's right. Fighting can make us realize things we didn't before. Fighting has changed my household for the better. Finally, privacy is super important in a home. Family is great, but so is people not seeing you change. Privacy can mean your own room, or alone time. Privacy is maybe family movie night with the blinds down and the doors closed. That's why privacy is important. That's why I think nature, fighting and privacy are important in a home. I think a house is different from a home. Do you agree?
