What Home Means to Me

A home for me is a place of happiness, fun, comfort and where I live with my family. My parents had migrated from a different country to make a home here. My home is where I sleep and eat yummy food prepared by my mom, play with my baby sister, play board games with my dad, where we worship together as a family and it’s more than walls and a roof. It's where I live, where I work, and most importantly where I feel the safest. It is where I am growing up and hoping to become the best version of myself under the guidance of my parents. If I think about it I would say home is where you feel like you belong. Even when I go back to my parent’s country to visit my grandparents, cousins, and uncles and aunts, I am still at home there because I am surrounded by lots of love and warmth. When at home it is like my sanctuary, a guard to keep you away from the dangers of the outside world. Therefore, a home is not bricks and mortars, but a place which you share with your loved ones. And hence it doesn’t matter if you live in a luxurious mansion orin a small cottage in a countryside as far as you are with yourloved ones you will always be at home.
