Meaning of Home Contest

Home, the meaning of home to me is a lot more than just a building, it can be anything. For me my home is my siblings. When I'm with them I feel complete, it's some of the only times I feel truly happy. When I'm with my siblings we could be doing nothing but to me just spending quality time is doing a lot. I love my parents, but I don't connect with them like I do with my siblings. To me my siblings are my safe space, there will always be the good and the bad or as I like to call it the pros and cons for example when I fight with my parents my sibling usually aren't home so I feel trapped I have no one to pour my feelings to. For me that's a big con because I have no one to go to after a big fight. I have a distinct memory of a disagreement with my dad and directly going to my brother after, and he was sleeping but I knew either way he wouldn't mind me going to see him. So, I went to his room and right when he saw me crying, he said “give me a hug and let it out” so what I'm really trying to say is no matter what the bond between my siblings is unbreakable and that's why their my home.
