Home is Everywhere!

How many people do you know that have moved from one country to another but have never left their home? I was born 10 and a half years ago in Israel. When I was younger my family moved around a lot. When I was five years old my parents decided to move to Canada. In the last 5 years, since we arrived, we have been living in the same place. For me, it's the longest period of time spent in one house. A home is where I have all my stuff, my toys, my work, and everything I own. The most obvious reason I consider my house a home is that it contains all of my things, my room has a bed, my books, my clothes, etc. It's where I spend most of my time. Safe Comfy Like home - familiar and cozy good. My home makes me feel. Home is the place I feel the most safe, happy, comfy, and relaxed. I feel like I can be myself, always accepted and loved no matter what I do or say. My mom's cooking smells amazing. Fresh air out my window. If I had to pick a sense that no matter what where I say or what I do will always bring me right back home. In my mind it would smell, my home has a very distinct smell. Even before you walk through the door you can already smell my mom’s cooking. My mom loves to cook and she does so every day! In conclusion, I can safely say that even though I moved houses more than 5 times in my life so far, I have actually never left my home because everywhere I lived I was with my family, So do you see how people can move but always be with their family and it would still be like home, Now you see what I meant when I said that you can move from one country to another but have never leave your home?
