I never want to break free from my family and friends or from my hometown.
Well, I sometimes want to break free from my busy life but it's always good to come home and to see my family in the evening.

Slight difference of meaning:
"it's always good to come home and to see my family in the evening" > seeing your family and coming home are both good things
"it's always good to come home and see my family in the evening" > seeing your family when you come home is a good thing
