What Home Means To Me, By Lauren Fagan

Home for me means when I am around the people in my life that I truly love. At this point in my life I do not really have a "home" as in the sense of a building because I have lived with my father for the past five years and he has just recently moved down to North Carolina. I do not feel as though the house down in North Carolina is my home because whenever I do go down there I feel as though I am a visitor and I do not have any friends in the area nor do I really know my way around. So North Carolina all though my father has a house down here and lives with my family down here I do not feel as though it is my home.
My father does live in North Carolina, but my mother lives up here in Pennsylvania. I have just recently started talking to my mother again, though, so her house really does not feel like home either. So I have come to define the word home as an area in which I can be surrounded by the people that I love. Home is not a building or place, but rather a feeling to me.
