Home Is Where The Heart Is

"Home" is not a place but an emotion. Our home is great because of its people. When we are young, we want to leave home. Our childhood was in our home, where we learned and had a great time. Our stay broadened us—it served as a training ground for independence. A home is more than its walls and roof. It is our happy place. Our house is our foundation, so that we will move with it. Our homes are where we develop mentally and emotionally. Living in one place for an extended period teaches us. Because of this, our family is both a group and our home. Relationship status, not genetics, defines family nowadays. No matter where life takes us, we will always be planted in this community among the individuals who shaped us. Home is ours. Despite the cliché, "home is where the heart is" (Nicholls, 2020). Our homes shape us. We have had bittersweet memories in certain houses. Our memories shape us with all our knowledge and experiences. Memories can be happy or sad. Past or present events are remembered. Recalling old memories, especially in our homes, might comfort us. We discover ourselves in our houses. Everywhere we look, we see our judgments and experiences. We typically see our homes as extensions of ourselves. From slovenliness to neatness, orderliness to disarray, and cutting-edge technology to antiquity, residents' character can be seen in many ways. Our homes can help us grow or hold us back. We each have reasons for living in an apartment, multiplex, or single-family home. At the most basic level, we need a secure refuge to pursue a career and personal fulfillment. Homes represent so much of who we are. The room's pictures and furniture express our story. When the walls are bare, and the boxes are unopened, it tells a lot about us.
