What is Home to you?
So home, I mean, it's more than these four walls and often it is said that home is where the heart is. Unfortunately, I don't think that is the case with me. For me, home is where my room is or where my people is. So yeah, I cannot ever come to a single definition of home. But I think for me, home is where there is comfort, there is love, there is warmth, there is no judgment

Home is not being able to see my hand in front of my face because I did not grow up with street lights. Very rural town. Home is going into the garden and digging up turnips and potatoes. Home is going outside, picking an apple off of the tree, rubbing it on my shirt and devouring it. Oh, my gosh. Home is a relaxation method for me to just drive home. I feel peace. I feel a sense of relaxation that comes over my body as I drive home
In one way or the other. We know what our home is, and home is something we are always longing to get back to. That's it from my side. Thank you so much for asking this question. Have a lovely day. Bye

And somehow you sort of justified that home is truly where the heart is. So thank you very much for sharing such wonderful memories of your own home, of your own childhood with me. I'm honored, and I'm delighted, and it was particularly calming to listen to your soothing voice. So thank you. Keep replying and keep swelling. Bye

Home is one place where we can be ourselves without any fear of judgment, where we do not have to put on masks, as I said. So yes. And it is so important to be with the people who love and care about us, the people whom we love and care for. Yes. So I absolutely agree with you. I think it got me thinking when you said that we all come back to home one way or the other

You. Hey, next level. Nathan, it was refreshing to listen your reply to my swell, so thank you very much and welcome to my swell world. I sort of agree with you when you say that you haven't still found your home yet. So, yes, I think home can be a space, home can be people, and it's okay. I think it's an onward journey to find our place of comfort and solitude, and home can be so much to so many people
So I've traveled and I've lived in different countries and rural areas, urban areas. I really do follow my heart. I like experiencing new places and new cultures, so they make for really interesting experiences. And I don't really get homesick either, like homesick, in a sense, to meet up with my family and stuff. But I realized what home meant to me when? During COVID actually
Himanshi. I absolutely agree with you how much love you have towards traveling, how much ever you are passionate towards exploring the places after if you're so passionate, at least after two to three days, you feel like going back home. Because according to me, for me, home is a place of comfort. Home is a place where I can do whatever I feel to do. Home is a place where I feel it's mine. I feel I have a feeling of belongingness

First of all, I really want to thank you because what you shared is deeply personal and emotional and heartwarming. So, yes, when I was replying to other friends also on Swell, I also came to this realization that home is actually because of the people. Home can be your own personal space also

Thank you, Gauri. Thank you for the reply and sharing what home means to you. Yes, home is your own space, your own comfort zone, your own family. Yes, home can mean so much to all of us. So yeah, that's true. Thank you. Thank you for you reply. Loved. Listen listening from you. Keep replying and keep swelling. Take care. Bye
Whenever you go out for any vacation and you see new places, and when you come back, you can look at your home with some new light. Now, this is something which even my reki teacher told last time when I had been with her for a tour, a meditative tour to Kuraikanal back in November. Okay? So this is my take on it

Hey, Mitakshara. So I find that really interesting. Yes, you can always bring those happy memories and happy feelings back to your home. I mean, I never thought about it, but thank you for introducing me to that thought. And, yes, home is can be sometimes tricky, right, because of the people that you live with. But, yes, if you truly want it to be a century, you need to take some conscious effort and some extra steps for that
