Home is Trust Not Only Shelter

I think of home a little differently than others. I think of home as a living thing. It’s because I moved countries because of the harsh education systems. Before I got comfortable in my house I needed one thing to make my house into a home: it's TRUST. You need to trust the house before it becomes a home. It’s building trust, like if it protects me well or if it’s warm enough and if it’s trustworthy but that takes some time for everyone. I think homes couldn’t get any better but for me I need my family. I think your homes can’t be complete without your loved ones so you can give and receive love. For me, without them I feel like a GHOST. It's boring or lonely like me staring in a random building.So wherever we're together as a family it's Home. On some occasions some people need to move but still want to stay. That is very understandable because you’ve already made a gigantic trust wall at your home and you have to rebuild it. It's like you’ve worked on a Lego tower that takes lots of effort but someone steps in it and breaks it now you have to remake that wall. It’s like home is a cure of every harsh thing that happened, past or present. I love my home because you don’t have to be shy or even being trusted on something you aren’t happy about doing so. It's a whole lot of weight. At home though you're trashing all of the weight you feel free and do all the things you love and at home you can be yourself and not hide anything at all. I love MY home, MY things, and most importantly MY family. NOTHING can replace my trust in that.
