Meaning: home is where you go at the end of your day. Use examples.
Rewrite 1: home is where you put to rest the struggles of the day
Rewrite 2: home is where you can claim* all the things therein
Rewrite 3: your troubles stop at the doorstep to your home
Rewrite 4: you can “go to the office” but you can “stay at home”
*See under “Idiom”
Comment: This cliché has a nostalgic feel to it and it most often reflects the special place “home” is in all of our lives. Thus, the rewrites try to pick up on that feel.
