What Does Home Mean?

I've always wondered what home means. Well I think I know what it means. Home means a place to feel safe and cared for. A place to have food and water. Somewhere to have a family and a place to grow in. “What do you think of when you think of home?” Well home means different things for different people. For some people home means a place to retreat to, somewhere to go where people care about them when they're feeling down. “What do you feel when you think of home?” Some people feel different things when they think of home. For starters some people feel happiness, joy, safe, welcome and seen. For some other people that's not what they feel. They might feel neglected and sad. But they still have a roof over their head. When you're at home you should feel safe and cared for, happy, seen and joyful. Even when you get into an argument with your family your home is still your home you just feel angry and that's fine because that's just an emotion. So, no matter where you are, how you feel and how you act your home is still your home and it always will be. So don't ever forget “Your home is still your home.” Thank you habitat for humanity for giving others a home.
