What home means to me

Home to me is a place where I feel free and feel like I can be myself and do what I can do. I do not have to feel afraid to do it and it's not always like I have to be somewhere or do something every day. I can have a break from hockey or volleyball to just play outside or to have fun with my siblings and drink hot chocolate. I don't feel the best at hotels because I want to sleep in my bed, play in my pool and play with my toys by myself . I don't want to have someone say do this , do that empty the dishwasher. I can have time by myself all though I love to help my family in my room at home where I'm meant to be with space and when my family is getting along it's really relaxing and I can be me. I don't need to always worry about sports or work but at home none of those things stressing me out aren't there to worry about at home. Home isn't just a random place where you live, it's where you can have fun with your family and plus it's not like I can never be me I can express my feelings to my family and I don't feel like the kind of person that would express my feelings in public or to anyone except my family.
