What is Home?

This shelter where I live is not expensive but it is impressive. This shelter is filled with loving, stunning, forgiving and trusting people, nothing can separate us, they are a family with a unique personality. These people might not be related to me but they never wasted a minute with me, they are my family. I may not feel accepted because I was rejected on the streets, but these people accepted me for who I am and never rejected . Even though this shelter is small and stuffed, it is full of trust. It is home. Home is not about the price but about being nice. Home is not about having related family but about not being labeled . Home is about love, peace, joy, hope and trust. Even if it is a small, clutched shelter full of people who do not have a paying job, they are still family who have their own crafty personality. ‘’We think that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our homes to remedy this kind of poverty.’’ -Mother Teresa-
