Others define home as the place where they lived the longest. Still others call the place where they\u2019re currently living \u201chome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are those who maintain that home is not actually a place but a person\u2014typically someone they love or consider to be family.<\/p>\n<p>For some people, home is not associated with a structure, geographic location, or person, but instead a feeling. This could be the feeling of being completely accepted, or being allowed to be vulnerable yet protected at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how you define it, there may come a time when it becomes necessary to leave home.
