Home Is More Than Just A Place

The meaning of home varies. It can mean anything and everything to someone. Even some people have nowhere to call or feel like home. They have to figure out a way to get at least some type of shelter or food. Homelessness isn’t only about not having a place to stay; it's about not feeling safe, and they might not even eat for a long time. Home is a place where you can be yourself without fear of being judged. I’m very grateful that I have a place to feel safe and call home. Home doesn’t always have to be a building; it can be anyone or anywhere that makes you feel loved, safe, and happy. To me, home means wherever the people I care about are there. It’s a place where you grew up, and as you're finally leaving your home, you will remember every single important moment in your life that happened there. No matter where you travel, home is a place that never fades away; you will always want to come back.
