What home means to me

Home is more than just a house or an apartment—it’s a place where you feel safe, cozy, and surrounded by the people who love you. To me, home is where memories are stored and cherished, filled with the things that matter most. It’s my blanket that I’ve had since I was two, my earring collection, and the pets who now watch over my family from above. Home smells like my mom’s freshly baked pumpkin spice muffins and my Auntie Laurie’s mashed potatoes. It looks like snowmachine rides, swimming in my friend’s pool, and listening to music by Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter. Home sounds like the roar of snowmachines firing up and the hum of the TV playing softly in the background. Home isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling.
