Meaning of Home

Home to me is family. The three most important things in my family is joy, adventure and memories, and these are the things home means to me. Joy to me is the happiness and the chatter and laughter of my family having big moments throughout the house. Their joy is a sign that says “You’re not alone”. Their joy is the one thing that enlightens the whole house, and makes it feel like home. Adventures with my family is something that I am very grateful for. Adventures lead to meeting new people, going new places, unlocking new experiences and more. No matter what the adventure is, it is always going to be fun because my family cares about me. Having new adventures with my family makes me feel like home. Memories are the pictures and videos in our minds. Every single moment, even the bad ones, are beautiful memories that will be cherished forever. We may not always remember them, but we know they will always be there. And we know that new memories are constantly being made. Making memories makes me feel like home. Out of the infinite things that home and family means to me; joy, adventures and memories are the most important things to me, and the things that I wish everyone could have.
