What is your definition of "home" and how is it different from those around you?<br />home is where i feel most comfortable. it is a place where i can meet my friends in the local area. it doesn't have to be a home from childhood. but it is the good memories that make me nostalgic and i call them homes.<br /><br />6. Where do you consider "home" and why?<br />i consider my currrent home to be where i am now and where my friends currently live. whereever i go it is my being that carry with me. it is the relationships with others that tie me to the common experience associated with them.<br /><br />7.
