What Home Means to Me

Many people may ask this question, “What does home mean to you?” and this essay is my answer. A Home is not a place to me, it’s a warm feeling. Home is where I had my biggest memories and some obstacles like my first Christmas, Birthday and even my first big tooth. Home is a place where I feel comfortable and where I’ve been raised for 10 years. My home is like treasure and so precious to me and I care about it so much. A place I love is home, It has so much memories. I love it very much, It truly is treasury. I feel a big feeling at home. Home to me feels like a blanket rapped on me and home just feels so warm. Home is a place where not only me, but everyone feels like they belong in. A home doesn’t only give me feelings, but I had a lot of feelings at home like when I got presents, I felt happy in my home. Home can make you feel comfortable, happy, and excited and you and your family to laugh. It’s something everyone deserves too. Being in your home makes you feel so warm, Like a cozy blanket lying on you. You realize you belong in this home, Which doesn’t make you feel so blue. Some people might say that house and home are the absolute same, but there are reasons why they aren’t. A house is just a place that you live in but home has a deeper meaning because home is a place where you can be happy, laughing and learning. A house is a place that you don’t get too attached too, and don’t show much love, but home is a place you’re attached to so much that you don’t want to leave it. A home is also a place where you have a lot of happy memories like your first birthday meanwhile a house doesn’t have many happy memories. These are some reasons why I think house is different from a home. A house is a place where you don’t feel happy, and you know you don’t really belong. A home is the opposite, and you want to stay long. Like most people I love my home and here are some reasons. The quietness is something I love because before when I was in a house there were always traffic noises and loud sirens which always annoyed me and now that I found a nice home it’s quiet and truly amazing. I also love my home because it reminds me of all the memories that I had and when I stare somewhere it just reminds me of the time I did something and makes me smile. Lastly, I love the design of my home because each house has a different design and each one is for a different personality and the design in my home is something that matches me. These are things I love about my home. A home is a place that everyone loves, Which has things to be loved. People like different unique things in their house, And these facts shall not be shoved. Some people don’t have perfect homes like most people have and I think that everyone deserves a home and here is why. Everyone deserves a home because it helps them to improve their confidence and gives them positive, emotional support and guide them to be balanced, happy and a good human to the society. Another reason why is because kids deserve happy memories in a place they love and can call home .Lastly, this can affect kid’s futures and they might be sadder when they grow up and not be that comfortable about their house. Everyone deserves a place they can call home so their future won’t become worse than expected. A home is important to everyone, For very good reasons. The future can be helped, Every single season. Home is a lot of things to me, but as I said home to me is not a place but a warm happy feeling. Home is definitely a comfort zone for me and it’s so comfortable to live in. It’s a happy and peaceful place to spend time with family, relatives and pets! A home is a way to build new memories and get ready for the future. It’s what builds us to be a better, confident and loving person. Thank you for reading this essay and I hope you understand what home really means to me. This essay was amazing to write and an amazing category. Let’s hope that everyone gets their perfect home and live happily. Home is a lot of things. It’s a place but also a warm feeling. Everyone can find a perfect home. And then will realize what happiness it brings.
