What my Home means to Me

What my home means to me “A house Is made of brick and mortar, but home is made from by the people who live there” - M. K. Soni. I love how this quote empathizes what home really means because some people don’t know, they just think that home is walls with a roof over your head but it's not that is called a house not a home an actual home is made from all the memories, stories, laughs and cry’s that have been made in a spot where you are happy. At home you can be yourself and if you cannot be yourself and feel loved than its either that your home is not where your supposed to be or that your Home is not the right home. home could be anywhere, but this quote really reminds me of my home because it reminds me of comfort, memories and sports. When I think of home, I think of comfort. I think of comfort because when I'm at my home surrounded by the people I love, I feel comfortable and loved. Another reason I chose comfort is because Being comfortable is a key implement of happiness and home if full of joy. Another example of home being comfortable is the feel of everything being of is going to be okay and I think that it's very important to feel that way and I am very lucky I do. I think that if you are comforted in a home then it’s a home and it should always be comfortable. that is why I think of comfort when I think of home. The next thing I think of when I think of home is memories. I think of memories because Ive lived in my house for my entire life and when I look at my home, I remember all the memories Ive had in my home and those memories are comforting when I'm sad. Memories are a good source to look back on and it helps remind me about all the things I’ve been through and I like to be reminded of that. My home is filled with memories that’s why it is so hard when we are thinking to move cause when we move the new house will be called home but it's not you have nothing there and its empty and sad and that’s the feeling of home. I love the memories in my home, and I hope to continue to make more that’s why my home reminds me of memories. Another thing that reminds me of home is sports. Sports have been a big part of my life and I’ve practiced sports in my home for as long as I could remember, sports help me concentrate on important things in my life such as school, mental health, happiness etc. and it always makes me happy going to sports. I love playing sports and Ive played many over the years such as soccer, gymnastics, swimming and danse and most of them I still play today. Sports are a great way to interact with new people or even learn something about yourself you didn’t know about and that what I love about sports. Overall, that’s why sports remind me of home. As a result, it's important to have a home and it breaks my heart that some people don’t have enough money to buy a house. home is a wonderful place to make memories, be comforted and even have fun playing sports with your sibling and I'm so lucky that I have access to all these things in my life. In my home there has been so many fun and scary thing that had happened in my house. My home is so important to me because it holds so much love. My home is full of memories, comfort and sports and that is what my home means to me.
