What does home mean to me?

Home is a place where you feel welcome, safe, loved, comfortable and happy. I feel all those things in places including my parents house, school, sport activities, family friends’ houses, and my cousins’ houses. For me home isn’t just a building. It also includes cities, towns, and countries. I feel like home in Regina, Pilot Butte, London (England), slightly Sydney (Australia) and South Africa. All those places I have been to many times or I have family there. I think home is a place where you know where you are. You know if you're in a place that you don't know well. If you don’t feel welcome and safe, or if you feel you can’t trust someone, then you don’t feel like you're at home. Then you need to talk to someone you trust. Most places people don’t feel at home are new places because they haven’t adjusted to it yet. But if they go there more often they will adjust and feel at home. If you want to feel like you're at home you can't just magically do that. There are always steps to achieving that. The number one thing is you have to have trust. Without trust and a feeling of comfort, love and safety, you can’t feel at home. But one thing to always remember is that home isn’t the outside, it is the feeling and what's inside.
