This is such a thought-provoking question! A lot of great responses and insights here from the other users

For me...

Home: where the heart belongs. Very cliche, but I think that phrase says it all. Generally I think of a place as home, but I know people to think of another person as "home" too, which is very deep and beautiful. Home is a place where I'm utterly comfortable - I can be myself, do what I want, surrounded by people I'm comfortable with, and most importantly, my heart is content. It is a place I would feel heartbroken about leaving.

Healing: to me, healing can be described as our burdens/challenges getting lesser or fading eventually, bit by bit, with the passage of time. It's when my mind is beginning to settle into a happier place, day after day. There will be some tougher days, but overall, the healing is a process towards a happier state.
