The Meaning of Home

Home is where people play, laugh, cry, learn, and valued small moments that people hold so dearly. Like when people feel uncomfortable then they go to a spot and then will feel comfortable. So when people are bored they can go anywhere they want they are free in their home. People know how happy it is to have a home to themselves and feel free and a place for valuable things that really mean something very special to you, like trophies, computers, video games, and even school can mean something to you. There are quite a few places like an apartment, a mansion, a house that can feel like a home. People are more comfortable in their home. Some people can feel comfortable in other people’s homes, like a friend's house or a cousin's house. But people feel more safe and comfortable in their home. There are different people like your grandma, and grandpa, friends, brothers, moms, dads, baby brothers, and even loved ones like cousins. Your whole family is valuable to you and home is a place they can all gather and be together. When someone goes to a different country, you miss them a lot because that is your loved one, and you can’t wait for them to come home. There are a lot of feelings at home like happy, sad, mad, bored, and excited. Home is where everyone can have these different feelings at different times. For example: maybe you would feel more safe in your bed, and I would feel more safe on a sofa and for excited Maybe you feel more excited by playing video games and maybe I feel excited when I watch TV. That is why people need homes. Different people have different opinions for their home, but everyone deserves a home and everyone should have one.
