What Home Means to Me

What Home Means to Me Home is not something I can easily define, because to me, it is more of a feeling than a thing. Home is where I can breathe without pressure and be myself without fear of judgment. It is found in familiar voices, comforting routines, and intricate details that make me feel understood and safe. When the world feels overwhelming, home is where everything slows down. It is where I can let my guard down and feel at peace. Home is made up of moments that may seem ordinary, like laughing over simple jokes, sharing meals, or sitting quietly with people who matter to me. Those moments are what makes it special. Home also represents support and belonging. It is knowing that no matter how hard things get or how far. I go; there will always be a place where I am welcomed. Even during challenging times, home gives me strength, comfort, and motivation to keep moving forward. In the end, home is not defined by what it looks like. It is defined by love, connection, and sense of belonging that make me feel truly safe. By Brennen Salter Colchester North P.S. Grade 6
