No matter where your life takes you. No matter what place you think is beautiful. No matter where your friends are. No matter where you end up. Home is where you feel your best self. It doesn’t matter who you are, when you are wrapped in your favorite blanket sitting around with your family, that’s when you know you’re home.

Home to me is something I hold so close to heart because it is where I have all my memories. Even though I have started a new chapter in my life, this so call thing called college, I still feel safer when I am home. Of course, I loved having the chance to go off and venture out, but it was always so nice to come home to home-cooked meals and family that loves you. You might always have friends that you love, but nothing compares to what your family feels for you. They are the ones who want the best for you.

I love home because it makes me feel relaxed. Even when I was piled up with all the dreaded homework college gives you being able to take a break and come home always made me calm down and remember everything will be OK. Sometimes I just needed that weekend break from living in a 10-foot room with another person. It’s all you really need sometimes. It is hard to think you could ever have another home compare to yours, but eventually I think it happens when you start your own family. It will be different, but just think about how you feel now about home, you’ll want your children to feel that same way.

Home is whenever you need something happy to think about or when you just want to be reminded of something that inspires you. Home does that for me and I am sure it does it for most everyone. It is so important to me because it is what built me. It is what has shaped me into the woman I am today. My town, my family, just my surrounding have formed me into the person I stand to be. It is something I hope everyone feels when they are home.
