The Feeling of Home
As I enter my house I am always amazed at what delicious meal is being made. I make my way down
the long warm hallway which is filled with the mouth watering scent of sweetness. Not only do I
Smell the sweets, but also from the splendid sound of laughter and giggles that welcome me closer. I can hear the soft, gentle hum of my mom who greets me with a hug as warm and soft as a living blanket. I entered the living room and found out that the source of the laughter and the positive energy was coming from there. I stare in disbelief as I realize that my brother had beat home, and was seated on the cozy, comforting, warm couch relaxing. I practically ran to the couch and my lungs were infiltrated with more heavenly smells, and feelings. Those feelings weren't just happy, it was a feeling of belonging, a feeling of place in the chaotic world, and that place for me was right here, at my home sweet home. I greet my brother and my dad who inquire how my day was as I stride past them with my attention towards my spot on my couch. Just then my mom comes in with the streaming, hot, delicious food that would be so savory in the crevices of my mouth. Instantly I forgot all my manners and completely housed my meal. I walk leisurely to my study table where I am greeted with my homework. As I slumped in my cozy chair, I lifted my fluffy, velvety blanket up to my waist as I admired the scent of a freshly washed blanket. I sit motionless as I study and complete my homework. After I had completed all my homework I headed to my room to go to enjoy my beauty sleep, just then I remembered that I have something important to do that I can’t miss. That thing is thanking my family who always make my day better with their positivity towards me. They help me overcome challenges in life that I thought that I would never face, but at the end of the day, life is full of surprises. After I thank my family I return to my room. That night I lay on my bed thinking of my family, nestled in my comfy, toasty bed. I remember that my family has supported me most when life was dark. They were a spark for me that created a fire that lighted my way. This is my home; this is where I belong.
