Is "home" a place or people you are close to? I know when I lived in MN for 7 years, Colorado was my home. Now back here in Colorado I defininetly have days when this "feels like home." What makes home to you?

Some people feel more connected to one place but i tend to get used to anywhere pretty quickly.

It's a combination of people and place. I have lived in a couple of diferent places and it really depends upon how comfortable I am w/ my surroundings.

I've been in this house for 4 years and the town for 5, and it's never felt like home to me.

Not sure where "home" is yet, but I'm hoping it's a happy place when I find it.wave

Home is where I am for any length of time that allows me to have my own things around me. Maybe that doesn't make sense, but I move every 2 or 3 years for my job, on average, and I always feel at home after my household goods have arrived and I put my personal touches in my apartment or house....and, by the time my shipment reaches me, I usually have started to make new friends, so it all sort of settles into a feeling of being at home.
I no longer own a home in the U.S. and when I return for vacations to see my family, I am staying with others or in a hotel. So the U.S. doesn't FEEL like home to me, although it is where I will return one day. Currently, I feel more at home here in Athens than I do when I go back to the States, but this is where I live and work and have friends these days.

First of all, I hope to eventually make Colorado my home again. I love it there.

Home is wherever my daughter and dogs are. She's looking forward to one day moving to Colorado too. She's never seen it, but we have a young friend there who is going to teach her to snowboard and compete. wine

Actually, my neighbors have made this feel like home, more than any place I have lived.

For me, home is where my family is. My mother, brother, sister, daughter.

I think home for me is the place where I feel the most comfortable like a blanket protecting me from all the cause in the world.

Home for me is where the people I love the most are, wherever that is.

My 'lil logcabin is the most best place ...
I can laugh and cry and shout for joy,I can shoot my gun,I can grow whatever I want(and no i don't and wont grow pot) its way in the Northwoods of Wisconsin my closest neighbours own 155,000 acres (Chippewa Indians)
So I'm like a pioneer..the sky is pitch black what I mean is there is no city light glow so you can clearly see the milkyway gallexy and all the stars colours and there twinkle plus shooting stars and the northern lights you rarely if ever hear a siren of a cop car,but if you do the coyotes and wolves sure do make a fuss..I do have neighbours but there far enough away I have elbow room to spare...there all married and don't know how I cope all alone,so they bring me good wishes and food just to make sure I'm still alive which I appreciate,
But I don't really feel all alone, why just the other day i set a mirror upon my desk and spent the rest of that day and most of the night talking to myself...I had no clue I was such a character either:)yay
Anyhow after talking to myself ...i decided I better get home for thanksgiving
and visit the family!...Maybe I could find a nice girl on this site to take back???
hug Ok if i dont i will water my garden with my tears like I did last summer and make more animal friends and still be comfortable and quite content...I keep busy I work hard I make do and I'm proud
of myself....mostly.sad flower well mainly cuzz I'm all I got.

Lisbon is home because i move a lot by myself and i speak all the Portuguese "languages".

The Netherlands is home because it takes my breath away, there, i can speak my "language" and they understand...i don't need to act according to circumstances nor get irritated because i don't understand when to be sure about things. I feel trully relaxed in NL like i never felt before.

Mozambique was where i was born but were i get irritated easily because people are too kind and expecting you to be kind back all the time. So, it's like a big brother to me and i definitely love being able to have secrets...there is no sense of individual space there, all is "us" oriented.

Thanks for askingkiss
