Is Home a Place or a Feeling?

This is a question that we are asking ourselves more and more in the global world and for that we do not always find an answer. Because home can mean something different for everyone.

According to the dictionary, home is

• the place of birth
• the country where you or your parents come from or
• the apartment in which you grew up.

But also:

the place where a person feels they belong.

Home is constantly changing these days. With every move, the new place of residence can become home. Starting a family can become a home.

So is home a retreat or a memory? The place where your parents live?

Or is it a feeling? Of affiliation? Of security? Of freedom?

But maybe your personal home has not yet been there and is waiting to be discovered.
