I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'll also say "let's go home" to mean "time to go back to the campsite" if I'm backpacking, so it's a pretty fluid concept for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's a past version of my parents' house that's my childhood home (when I actually had a bedroom there! t /still a little bitter ), but where I live now is my home.

Home for me is pretty much wherever I am. I never felt quite at home in Vancouver, yet there's parts of it I miss.

OK, I absolutely *love* this answer. As a definition for marriage, or a relationship between two people.
Thanks, lisa.

I am feeling fairly jealous of Nora right now, I have to say.

Sigh. Me too.

Not that I don't love my life! But, you know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nilly, that's beautiful. I don't have home like that. It's not a building for me, no matter who's inside. My childhood house doesn't fit me anymore--it's smaller in perspective, and my parents have made it thoroughly their home.
There isn't a building in Montreal for me, but there are parks and restaurants and stoops that might be new since I was last there, but they're still mine.
LA is home because I'm here, and because my stuff (all my stuff) is here, and it's somewhere I'm glad to get back to, no matter how much I was enjoying where I was visiting.
It warms my heart to think of home being where a person is, but I've never had that.
If someone asks me where I'm from the answer depends on why they're asking. If it's the accent, and I find that Jamaica sometimes placates people, but they really need to hear England, or perhaps Canada. If I'm bitching about the weather, Jamaica is the right answer, but I do have to give perspective with Montreal. If it's about moving, the answer is "I came here from Michigan, but I'm from Jamaica," but at some point I have to explain there were some extra stops along the way.
