What is home?

In the “long river of life’’, everyone is in pursuit of different answers. For me, home is an adjective, it can describe many different perceptions. Home is a place that always supports and embraces me. Home is a warm and peaceful house with lights on, it is the “fertile soil’’ that nurtures our growth and the past that illuminates our lives. And home is a “ haven’’ full of love, warmth and harmony, a place where the soul finds its rest, and the most precious existence in life. Home is the HAVEN of everyone’s soul, the place where we live. Here, we can let go of our fatigue and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of life. What does my house look like? My house consists of four walls, there are all kinds of furniture inside, our things are also displayed there. How is the house supported? It was with the support and trust of family members that this house was built. And family members are those who always support, trust and help us when we get in trouble. What does my house taste like? My house is a candy house. The “taste’’ is the warmth and love and sweat that permeates every detail. It is a bowl of peeled apples. It is a cup of orange juice, or maybe it is a delicate little cake.What would it feel like to touch? Touch is very soft and comfortable-My bed and pillow. What would it feel like to hear? My family works their own work-peaceful and silent. Or it feels like a beautiful“ symphony”-plain and melodious. Therefore, I believe that home is an adjective that can encompass all the details – warm, peaceful, cheerful and comfortable. Every detail reveals moments of happiness and sweetness. So what is home? It could be the familiar aroma wafting from the kitchen every morning, or the laughter during dinner in the evening, or the hugs every day. But I understand now! For me, home is a warm taste, a safe haven, responsibility, and a sense of belonging. Home is the destination in my heart and the most precious thing in my life! I love my home!
