The Meaning of Home

For me the meaning of home could be different from others because I have two homes. Multiple things make up home for me. One thing is safety. I feel safe in my home because it is a safe space and I can share my feelings without being scared someone will judge me. My homes are very dependable because I know that they will be there with my family whenever I need them for any reason. I feel healthy in my home because I can express myself in different ways so my mental health is always stable. My family is a part of my home because without my family it's just a house and could be anywhere but when my family are there it feels like home. I have many memories in both of my current homes and if I move into a new home I feel like it should be easy to make new memories. One last thing, home is different from a house because home is a feeling whether it’s feeling safe or feeling comforted or feeling healthy.
