Home in My Own Words.

Home can mean a lot more than just a physical place made out of walls and a roof. It can be identified both physically or mentally. The Physical can represent where one lives or just a place in general. It is known to be a space that offers shelter, warmth, and consistency. It can be considered as a place where you sleep, eat and store your belongings. It's a location where the body recognizes it before the mind does. Home can also be a space of comfort and identity, and where it provides both privacy and protection. On the other hand, home, in a mental sense, is where someone can express themselves without any fear of judgement and feel truly accepted. Mentally, home is built through familiarity and trust, even through difficult times home never fails to refuel the energy you need. It's like a safe space for unrecognizable feelings, a place where it's filled with surreal love and laughter, a sense of safety and comfort that people cherish. Finally, from my perspective, what implies to me about home is that it can really involve various things throughout a person's life. Home is not just identified to one meaning. It changes as we grow, as we move, and as we experience new chapters of life. When we are young we see home as our shelter and protection, as well as where we live with our family members. As we get older, home can have a deeper meaning that becomes more personal. In the end, home doesn't have just one meaning, It is a place filled with memories, love, and a sense of belonging. Sometimes, you never know what someone is going through in their own home, but those walls are meant to hold, protect and keep us safe when we need it most.
