When I was young, home was a safe haven; a place I could feel comfortable. Is defining home any different now? Or has the context just changed?
What makes me feel comfortable? All of the above? Yes, but I could find those qualities in many places. What defines home for me? Maybe home is a portable object. If I have my guitar, my journals, my movies, and my computer, I could basically be happy in any house.
But it that home?
No, it's not. Home is beyond objects. Home is where the relationships we formed are strongest. Home is where we can find ourselves.

I really like your last sentence: "Home is where we can find ourselves." I absolutely agree with that.
Still, where, for you, is that place/space where you can find yourself?
I agree with your statement about home being where relationships are formed but I also think that your relationship with objects that signify home are important as well
