Each one of us has a place which brings back memories, a place where we create new memories, a place which is a symbol of comfort and wellness. This place is what we call home.
Home: it's not just a place to lay your head; no it's more than that. It is also a place that you are always welcomed, a place where you know you are safe, and can hide from the outside world. Home is a place where you can always turn to and there will be open doors awaiting you. It is a place where a person should feel relaxed and comfortable, where they can just kick off their shows and fall onto the couch after a long day of work, also a place of refuge.
The Oxford Dictionary defines a home as ‘place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.’ But I define it as a place where I can feel comfortable, safe, loved, no matter what the situation or the location. I see my home as a getaway, another world and in this magical place my worries disappear.
For example, coming home from a bad day at work, a woman puts her key in the door and walks inside. Upon setting her bags on the marble kitchen counter and picking up the remote to watch her favourite show, her troubles leave her. She becomes involved with the comical story of ‘My wife and kids’, and not with her boss's booming voice telling her how she filed his documents in the wrong place. She feels at ease, knowing that she can catch her breath for at least longer than 20mins, 2 a day at tea time within the 10 hours of her shift, each day from Monday to Saturday.
Our home is kept in our memories as an ideal place, even if it not perfect. Our homes combine different concepts. It represents our culture, religion, family, personal belongings, friends, environment, our cuisine...Our home is what represents us, as an individual.
We were brought in these homes, even if you are one who has moved countless times, but in each of those homes where u have lived and are living in
