Are we prisioner in our own home?

"Happiness needs the warmth of one's home. It cannot be taken from someone else's garden." - Kate Morton
My name is Fernando Flores; I am teacher who comes to talk to you about the discrepancies in society about the meaning of a home. In the last few days, we have been "forced" to stay at home, due to a pandemic that is ravaging humanity, and this condition is testing us as human beings. I have heard many say that they can no longer bear the fact of being in their own home, "locked up", or that they no longer know what else to do. Interpersonal intelligence is self-knowledge, understanding who we are, being able to identify our emotions, feelings and act on them accordingly. But where am I going with all this, Vernon Baker said: "Home is where the heart can laugh without shyness. Home is where the heart's tears can dry at its own pace." In other words, our home is the perfect place to be ourselves, to be able to relax, to spend time with our loved ones, to grow, to learn; it is our sanctuary and we should be happy to be there. Every time we are sad, it is at home that we cry, every time we are angry, it is home that shelters us, every time we are happy, it is at home that we dream; it is that place that sees us developing since we are little, it is our blank canvas, our diary, that history book that represents us, and which we should treasure. Sometimes we forget what really matters, we forget and we put others above us, but when we are at home we are kings, queens, we are whoever we want to be, no matter what others say. The place we call home inspires us to realize our dreams and hopes, and it usually has a special place in your heart, just as you are an essential part of it, its complement.

In the end, home is not only where it´s that person super dear to you, but the place where you find yourself, where you know that no matter what, it is you and no one else.
