What does home mean to you?

Home is a very important place to most people. For some it might not be the safest place, but for me home is a beautiful place. I am Theo Skolnik, probably a better realtor than you, I could sell houses or I could sell homes. The meaning of home can mean various things to a person, whether they don’t have a home or if they love their home. Some people might have a home but don’t rely on it. Home isn't a building or a place, it's the people around you. That could be your family and friends, or someone you trust and feel connected to. My home is a place where you feel warm, cozy, safe, and feel good about yourself. It is a place where you fit in, and people understand you. Home doesn't have to be luxurious, or expensive, it just has to have that feeling that you can call home. I am out of the house a lot because I play sports, so when I come home the feeling is unreal. Coming home and seeing my mom cooking delicious food, petting my cat. I know that my house is filled with warm hugs and fun times. My home isn’t just 4 walls and a roof, it has memories of fun times, and not so fun times. At my house we try to live life to the fullest. Home is a place where people have given love for centuries. Just about 50 kilometres from my house is my nanny’s house. It’s not my house, It’s not home, but I feel the same way when all of the family is together.
