Home isn't just a Place

Home, I always thought it was just a place I live in, but it turns out its way. Home is where I live, it's also where my heart lives. I am with my mom, grandma, aunt, and baby cousin. I love my home, it's where I go for peace, love, and comfort. When I'm at home I smell my mum and grandma’s cooking, I hear my baby cousin crying and the tv playing. When I taste my mum and grandma’s cooking I feel right at home. Nothing makes me happier than spending time with my family, especially me and my mom. She works a lot so I don’t get to spend a lot of time with her. Home is where I go to be me and to get away from the world. The world is not a bad place but it's also not a good place. We may not be able to change the world and the people in it, but that’s life. But life's better when you're with your family, friends, and the good people around you because without them life is lonely. Looking at all those pictures on the wall, making all those wonderful memories makes you happy and everybody wants to be happy. Even though i don’t spend a lot of time with my mum, I try to save so many memories and try to make so many more. Home is a place for love, comfort, joy, family, and so much more. So, I'm very grateful that I have a home, family, and friends. So, thank you for your habitat for humanity for doing this national writing contest.
