What does home mean to you?

 

Here's what people in London said:

 

It means home cooking… er… getting my clothes washed, warmth, comfort, all those sort of things.

 

Home is where my parents live.

 

What about you – are you living at home?

 

Not living at home. I’m living in a shared flat, I’m living with one of my mates from back home and I’m from France.

 

And when you hear the word home, what does the word home mean to you?

 

Harmony, being very relaxed. Just a peaceful place, it’s cool.

 

 

*Let’s dig in!

For some people, home means that you can cook yourself and clean up your stuff, like laundry. It is also very comfortable and cozy because you can do whatever you want in this private space. You do not need to pay too much attention about the others and care about others opinion. You can simply be you.

 

Some people think that home is just a place where their parents live. In another words, it is also where they grow up. They may not live there, but they do have a feeling to it. That is also why when people are not having a good day, they just want to go home because it is where they could find comfort and leave everything behind them.

 

Some people share a home with other roommates. When you share this private space with others, it could be quite stressful and annoying overtime as you need to get used to others’ living habits. More arguments could happen as a result.
