Meaning of Home

Home can mean anything to anyone anywhere in the world. Home can be a place of comfort, safety, love, care and many more things that can make home the best place in the world, but home can also mean hate, discomfort, abuse, and other horrible things that can make home the last place that you want to be. I am lucky, because for me home is many things, all of them positive, but most of all, home is safety, love and childhood. My home is safe and safety is one of the most important things about home to me. Safety makes me feel comforted and calm, thankful, warm and loved. Unsafe homes are not practical or comfortable and often lack or have very outdated heating systems. In very poor rural areas in some places people freeze to death inside of their own homes. Me, and everyone else that I know are lucky, but not everyone is lucky enough to have access to a safe and secure home. Home means a lot to me, sometimes we have to buy a new house meaning all of our childhood memories will be left in our old house which a new family will buy. They will get to experience a childhood just as good as ours. All those birthdays we celebrated, the parties and pizza dinners will now be enjoyed at the new house, but if you have ever moved houses, it just doesn’t feel the same as our old memories.
