We don´t need to go very far to appreciate different points of view from people, especially when it comes to subjects such as the concept of 'home'. All around the world and even in your own neighbourhood or family, people tend to share different points of view in relation to this subject.
While some consider home the place where they were born or where they grew up and spent their childhood, others firmly support the idea that it is where they are loved and always welcomed. There are those, of course, who say that home is they experience things that contribute to their growth as human beings and those who see home as a refuge from every harm possible and where they're untouchable. I think that makes people think or have different perspectives in relation to the way they see home can be explained by how those people grew up, for example, life experiences. For instance, if a person was brought up in a family would show a lot of affection towards him or her, that person is most likely to develop a concept of home related to that of being loved.
I personally believe that although home is where I belong and where I grew up, it is also that place where I was loved by everyone and everything around me. Home is also that place where I feel safe and comfortable, where I feel free from any possible harm or threat and where I can away to hide from my everyday problems.
My experience as a human being doesn't go any further than the most usual sense of home, the one involving one's family. For instance, I've often had rough days like everyone else, but the moment I reach my doorstep and head in towards the entrance hall, I start feeling better all of a sudden, specially when I feel my family welcoming me home.
This is why, sometimes, when I go abroad or even to some place I know to some extent and where I've got used to living, I never quite feel the same way, because there isn't any sort of special attachment to it.
Home has to be therefore, a place where I feel safe and where I keep a special corner for it in my heart.
