Sorry for the late post! I just returned from staying in Niagara Falls at my parents' place for the weekend, as we had a wedding to attend in the region. As soon as we pulled off the highway to get to my house, I yelled "WE'RE HOOOOOME!" and I was quickly corrected by my boyfriend who said "no, you're home", and so I yelled "I'M HOOOOOME!" instead. He told me he doesn't consider that area, nor where we live now, nor his parents' house "home". He later clarified that the Niagara region is his home - it's where all his friends are, his siblings are relatively close, and he wants a job there.
Home to me is Niagara Falls where I was born and raised, where my parents are, where some of my family are, and some of my friends are (away from the actual waterfall where tourists flock), and for those who live far away now, Niagara is a nice and easy place for a lot of us to get to without having to worry about tons of traffic or parking troubles; it's small, it's comfortable, the air is fresh, there's lots of greenery, the people are friendly, the streets aren't packed with cars, it's safe, it's a pretty low-key place and people aren't as uptight as in bigger cities where everyone is stressed out. The difference between a bigger city and home is like night and day to me.
The whole region is nice though. I wouldn't at all mind living there if I could get a permanent and stable job in my industry, though that's quite unlikely, unfortunately. I love my apartment too and I've done what I can to accent it like a home, but it's not a home without the ease and access to the rest of my family.
So, where is "home" to you and why?
