homistence

Homistence is a term that combines the words "home" and "existence," referring to the state or condition of being at home. It encompasses the physical presence within one's residence, as well as the emotional and psychological sense of belonging and comfort that comes with it. Homistence is a fundamental aspect of human experience, providing a sense of security, stability, and personal space. It is often associated with the practice of domestic life, including cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a living environment. Homistence can also refer to the broader concept of a place where one feels at ease and content, which may not necessarily be a physical home but could be any space that fulfills these emotional needs. The term is used in various contexts, from personal narratives about the importance of home to discussions about housing policies and urban planning.
