What a Home is to Me

What is a home to me, being able to feel comfortable and safe in my home. Why my home is safe is because I know no one will ever try to hurt me, so just knowing that makes me feel safe. Something I enjoy doing at home is writing. One of my personal belongings I want to mention is my art supplies because I LOVE art. Why I enjoy living in a home with loving family members. Families come in all different shapes and sizes. Not all families are perfect, but they are perfect in their own way. A house is a building but a home is a house filled with objects or people that make me happy. Not all times are good but the times that are not so good create the good times and at the end of the day the good times are the times that matter. Home is where I feel welcome, loved, taken care of and most at peace. The best of the times are when my family is together and gets along with each other. Not all families need four people to be complete, some can have two, three and more, because all families are different, just like how some families don't have two parents, some have one or even two of the same gender but it’s a family in the end and i believe that everyone deserves a family that loves one & other. I've learned that a home is not complete until you have some important object that means a lot to you, and you see them everyday, and sometimes you just have to stand there and realize that you have so much in front of you. I have had stuff from when I was little and sometimes when i dont have it I feel lost and uncomfortable. That is what completes my home. As long as I have family and that one stuffed animal I couldn't ask for anymore.
