Home is Where

Home is the place where my heart and mind can rest. It is the place where safety and reassurance can wash over my fatigued mind. The place where I can fall into a blissful sleep knowing I am safe and that someone is watching over me. Home is the place where I can find peace and acceptance, where I am surrounded by love and warmth from my loved ones. Where I go to for a shoulder to cry on, a reason to laugh, and someone to listen to. Home is the place where I can be my true self; where I can show people who I am with no judgement. It is the place where I can express myself and learn more about my identity. Home is the place where I can release my emotions; either good or bad, and people will respect them. The emotions caused by a day of demanding work, a day with tears and sorrow, or a day full of satisfaction and pleasure. Home is the place that is so much more than just a building. It is the place to build memories; and the place that is already bursting with the ones that have shaped my life. Home is the place for family, friends, and everything in between. It is a place that is rich with exuberance, love, and tenderness. Where people gather and play; where they cry and where they sing. Home is where I belong.
