The Meaning of Home

Home is not just a building or a room, but a place where your love dwells. Home is the abiding place of affection. The Latin root word for home is the same we use for humans, persons, and people. At its very core home is where not just your heart is, but the hearts of those you love and trust. Home is something so special, it is indescribable. It is not about the structure, the place, or the house, but it is about feelings and important things like being with the people you love and great experiences and memories. A home should make you feel safe, loved, and special. A home is a sanctuary where we feel safe and comfortable. Emotional attachment to this space cultivates a sense of security both physically and emotionally. Home is the only place where you feel that you belong, usually because your ideas or attitudes are the same as those of the people who live there. Home is just a place where you have love, excitement, and anything! Just remember home is a place where you can truly be yourself.
