The Meaning of Home

To me, home means a blessed place where my family and I can be secure, have everything I need, and share my sadness and happiness. When I walk through the door, it's all about the positive energy and vibes. It's where my family eats and sleeps, where I host friends, and where I do activities. Where I can support one another as a family. It’s also a place where I can feel that I belong. It’s a place where my ideas or attitudes are the same as those of the people who live there. Home is a location where I can build memories with family and friends. These memories I would cherish to the upcoming generation. It’s not a location that defines home, but an emotion that defines home. It's also a location where I get to express my style and get some valuable life lessons. It is impossible to overestimate the significance of home in our lives. It gives me peace and joy, and is a vital part of my well-being. For me it holds a special place in my heart for the home I grew up in. It still feels like home, regardless of my age or distance from it. It's a place where I feel in control and properly focused in the space and time. Not only is it my final home, but it's also my place in the world, I can go to escape the outside world. My home is a place where I feel safe, accepted, and I'm heard. My home is a location where I lived and where I am emotionally connected to someone. In my home, I have a familiar space where I can feel safe, secure, and surrounded by the people I love and know. This is my definition of home.
