come home

End your journey

Come home means to return to one's residence or place of origin, whether from work, travel, or simply being out.

The phrase extends beyond physical return to suggest emotional or psychological arrival: a truth may come home to you when you finally grasp its significance.

Something that hits close to home or comes home affects you personally and deeply.

In sports, to come home is to score or reach home base successfully.
