Home is where the heart is

To me, home means a lot of different things. First and foremost I take it in the literal sense, the house in which I live in. But it is not just the place where i eat, sleep and spend a lot of my time when I'm not at school. There is a feeling that goes along with. A feeling of comfort, a feeling of safety. Other times of course, it can be a little intimidating, especially if you've done something wrong. During my sophomore year of high school, there was a lot going on with my family at home, so I did feel a slight bit of alienation from my home. But that is where the cliche "home away from home" comes in. My home away from home became my dance studio, and being there helped ease the tension at home. When I'm not home, I miss my room the most. It is the one thing in the house I can call my own, and having that is really important to me.
