What Does Home Mean to Me

Shelter does not fully define what a home is, but what you feel when you experience the love of a home. You undergo the compassion of a home when you feel loved. Home is a place where you laugh, play, cry, and learn. Home is an environment where you are treated with care. If you don’t feel comfortable in a house, then you cannot call it a home. To me, home isn’t four walls and a roof over your head, but where you enter happily to come to after a long day of school or work and feel welcomed. A home consists of family and friends. Your home is like the teachings that brought you up from childhood. And those important people in your life can definitely define what a home is. Four walls and a roof can get blown down by a storm. But your family and friends that make the home will never abandon you. If you are looking for a place to live you might go on Google or go strolling in neighborhoods. But if you're trying to look for a home, all you must do is call up your loved ones. You can be at a dump site. But if you are having a fun time feeling comforted, you can call that home. So, to me, a house and a home are two completely different things. A home is much more. Home is the foundation of your entire life.
