They say that home is where the heart is. But is that what “home” means to you?
What, or where, is “home”?
For me, home isn’t the place where I was born or where grew up. It’s not where my family is, the house I live in, or wherever I lay my hat. It’s the western part of my state, Victoria, in Australia.
Home
Before I moved here, I used to holiday in this region, and I like the sense of peace I feel when I’m here—it was always a long way from the trials of everyday life.
Now I live here, but this area still gives me that feeling of escape, safety, and relief. My “home” is a haven. Out here, the demands of daily life can be put aside and I can be myself. “Home” is also acceptance and belonging. But there’s something else. In this landscape, I feel connected, as if something in me agrees with this place—as if something clicks. So “home,” for me, is also about restoration and wholeness.
Do you feel similarly about your home? What else does your home mean to you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

To me, it’s not a place, it’s simply warmth — relationally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. If my body and soul feel “warm” I feel at home.
For me, home is my lover 😀 It’s when I feel my lover to close to me 🙂
Hey, thanks for the contributions 🙂
Amy, I like your interpretation very much. And Fajr, yep—we’re very lucky when we find some*one* with whom we feel at home 🙂
Yes, I do feel. Home is the place where you find peace. Home is where you find yourself connected. Home is a heaven on the earth.
