What Home Means to Me

Home isn’t just a place to live that has a floor, 4 walls, and a roof. Home is a place where I come to see my family and spend time together, eat rice with curry and a side of vegetables. I don’t come home just because I have, it’ because I want. I want to be with my family. I want to play and eat with my family. Home is a place where I don’t feel scared, hurt, or alone. Home is the only place I call “safe.” home is the foundation of my pride and joy. Home is my memories and courage. Home is where I get my love from my family. I don’t get all my confidence from doing something good, its my home, where I get all my confidence. To some people home is the same as a house, I don’t blame them, maybe they had a fight with their family or something else happened, but that’s not the same with me. Even If I had a fight with my family home is still my happy place. It’s my blanket from anger and fear. Home is where I criticize if my sister cheated, it’s where I play uno and my sister now hates me from winning. Its where I get advice from my family on uno. To some people home is school, since your parents might be to harsh on you. But home is where my family is. Is home my old house or new house. I have been talking about what’s in my home, but not where my home is. They both aren’t far from each other. In the same community, neighborhood, but it doesn’t matter where it is it’s what I feel in the house. Ever since I was 3 I was in my old house. It is the foundation of everything, its all my memories until mid 2025 when I had to leave my cramped up 2 bedroom apartment, a place where I learned how to speak. I was moving to a place I didn’t know, but I like new places, but this was different, it was like life had restarted. All my memories and a place I called safe gone. I had to start from scratch. I had a room, but it didn’t have the feeling of home, just a room with my stuff in it, gradually I got the feeling of home , but not like my old house I miss the small room where I would play with my sister. All of that gone , but this new house feels like home, but which is my home?
