Home Isn't Just A Place

My home is a place where I can be my unfiltered self without having to be worried about being judged or made fun of. And I don’t just find home in a building. I find home in people that I'm close with as well, like my friends, my brother, my partner, eca. You can find home in lots of other things as well, like your pet or something you got from someone close to you, like a gift. For example, one of my closest friends had once given me a gift before she switched schools and moved away. She gave me a little letter, it was small but it meant a lot to me. Home isn’t just a place. Home can be a lot of different things. Home is a place of comfort, and I find that comfort in people close to me, so that’s what home is to me.
