Home is memory

A home is a place where you feel safe. Where you don’t worry about anything you don't recognize that is going to scare you. It is also a place where you have security. A home is a place where you can share memories, feelings and friendships. A place where you build confidence and bloom with the love of your family. You can find comfort and peace. For me a home feels like a place I have lived in for a while (like my old house back in my country, Ecuador). It was filled with good and bad memories, as everybody else. But both kinds of memories help us grow, even the bad ones because they teach us a lot. ( to fall and get up again). A home is also filled with good memories because of your family and your friends. They’re there for you to protect you, cheer you up and to never leave you alone. You need good and bad memories because if they were only good you wouldn’t know how it would feel to fail. And without failing you will never be able to succeed. And without failing you can never learn. In case you don’t have a home, don’t give up in trying to find one! A good time will come because there is always a balance between good and bad. Just like memories.
