The words i chose to to describe my definition of home were family, love, acceptance, pride, stability and comfort. The three words that i found out of these that meant the most were acceptance, pride and comfort. Acceptance to me means that no matter what you do in your life your family will always except you for who you are and my family is a perfect example of this. I chose pride because pride is a key part of my life in the sense that i am proud of were i came from and I'm not afraid show it off you could say. And finally i chose comfort because that is the cornerstone of home i believe. Home is were you can go when everything else in life is going bad and feel like you are loved and in a safe place almost like a safety net. Even though these are the feelings one could get this is not always the case. For example when i return home from college every so often home doesn't feel the same for some reason. Its like the time i have been away has made my relationship with the people i love strained and stretched from what it used to be. I find myself asking if i am aloud to eat food in the house or if i can watch TV or get something to drink its crazy to say that home doesn't feel like home anymore. A s a college student one finds themselves becoming independent and having to make their own decisions in life like what to eat or what to do with their night. But even though these strange feelings occur in the back of ones mind the love and comfort Will always be there and home will still always be home.
