<p>What is home?</p><p><br/></p><p>People often assume that home is a house. Four walls, a roof, a door you lock at night. A place you return to because your belongings are there. But a house is just that, a structure, a physical space built with bricks, wood, cement, and effort. It can shelter your body, but not necessarily your soul.</p><p><br/></p><p>Home is something much more profound.</p><p><br/></p><p>Home is where your spirit exhales.</p><p>It is the one place, physical or not, where you don’t have to perform or pretend. It is comfort without conditions, love without explanations, safety without fear.</p><p><br/></p><p>Home can be quiet or chaotic. Soft or loud. Tangible or invisible. It can be a place you walk into, but it can also be a presence you walk toward.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes home is a person whose arms feel like reassurance.</p><p>Sometimes it’s the sound of your name spoken gently.</p><p>Sometimes it’s a memory you return to when the world gets too heavy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Home might be a familiar scent, like the smell of rain on dusty ground, or your mother’s cooking drifting from the kitchen.</p><p>Home might be a moment, like the peace that settles on you when you sit under the evening sun.</p><p>Home might be a feeling, like the quiet joy of knowing someone understands you without words.</p><p><br/></p><p>For some, home is found in laughter shared at 2 a.m.</p><p>For others, it’s in silence that doesn’t feel uncomfortable.</p><p>For many, it’s the freedom to be vulnerable, messy, confused, or growing and still be accepted.</p><p><br/></p><p>Home isn’t defined by architecture.</p><p>Home is defined by belonging.</p><p><br/></p><p>It is the place, real or imagined, where your heart feels anchored.</p><p>Where you don’t have to shrink.</p><p>Where you don’t have to be strong.</p><p>Where you are allowed to just be.</p><p><br/></p><p>And sometimes, you discover that home is not a destination.</p><p>It is something you carry within yourself.</p><p><br/></p><p>A gentle reminder that no matter how far you wander, there is always a space in the world, and in you, where you fit perfectly.</p>
