My Meaning of Home

To me, home if a safe space where you can express your feelings and opinions and where you can be yourself. You don't have to have a sign to say so. Even if you you move to a new house, it is still a home if there is kindness, love and support from your family. It doesn't matter if you live in a small town; you always live in a home. Your home could be very big, or very small or just in the middle. You could think of your home as a community. A home is anywhere you feel welcome, wanted, and respected. That is why I think a home is a really special and important place that you can be yourself without being judged. And when you are sick, you want to be at home because you know that people want to care for you so that you get better. Home is more than a thing. I think it is a feeling.
