There are a lot of definitions for the word home. Some could mean a place where they are living. Some could mean something different. Some people might say their home is where they feel the most comfortable. For me my home is wherever my family or friends are.
If home is only a place where you live, that would be hard to decide especially because I am a military child, I have lived in a lot of places. This is why I define home as a place where you can be yourself. A place where you are the most comfortable, whether it's by yourself in your room or a place where you can be with people. I view my family and friends as family because that's where I feel the most comfortable to be around. The people who I grew up with and spend time with that's where my home is. Wherever I can be around family and friends.
The reason for my family and friends being home is very simple. My family is very close together for being as big as it is. We are very family oriented on my mom and dads sides of the family. For the reason why my friends are also my home is because I view most of my friends as family too. I think this is because I am from Guam. Since Guam is a very small island I view people who I am really close to as a family. My parents think that way too. Like in New Mexico we had these Chamorro neighbors right in front of us, one day my Uncle Kin saw the Guam symbol in my car and came to our houses. That's how us and them started becoming family. We would hang out at each other's houses. It was overall a good time being with each other, and being with my family.
As you can tell I like being around people especially if they are friends or family. Even if we don’t do anything together, just having them in the room with me makes me feel comfortable. Whether it's a big or small event being around family and friends is the time I feel the most at home.
My home is wherever my family and friends are. Whether if they are in Guam, Asia, or the US wherever my family is, that is where I feel the most comfortable. Being around people at a big or small event makes me feel good and where I feel at home.
