Where I Wish I Were Always

Is there ever a place where you feel comfortable? Well, for both of us It’s most likely home. That's where you can feel anything, say anything, and feel safe; that's what home is. It isn’t just walls with a roof; it has life and comfort. Without any of those, life isn't all that something you enjoy. If you're with people you love, and where you can be yourself, that's home, not just the walls that surround you. It's also the taste, the smell, and all your other senses. The smell of my mom's cooking is usually a comfortable place where I feel like I can let out a sigh of relief, so when I smell anything at home, I mean anything, I feel safe. The smell that makes me feel like I'm at home/safe is my mom’s Italian cooking, and sometimes my mom’s pasta, and my favourite banana bread. Also, the taste is sometimes better than the smell, which I know I can believe. The fulfilling taste is my mom’s cooking, but right when my dad comes in to cook, I know it's going to be a hundred times better. Like the taste of my mom’s lemon disaster when I was younger is something I hated, but that's still home because I can laugh and feel good about it. With the sound of chaos in my brother's life and his struggles to get into college/university, my dad's frustration with his work, which suggests I should not be a doctor, and my mom yelling at my brothers for being a mess. To help me escape the sound and the life at home, I go to soccer and music, which thrives in my house. A quote I like relating to music is, "When I felt upset and lost, music always had the answer." In my room, which describes lofi. A dreamy room with lights and my hip hop style. There is nothing I really feel at home besides comfort. The sight I see when I get home is my fathers trired face after work, and my mom's dreadful face after the long drive back and forth to work, but the sight I like to see is my couch downstairs. It's like it's asking me to relax on it. Overall, houses in general aren't the walls and roof; it is the heart and feeling of joy and comfort.
