What Home Means to Me.

This is what home means to me: Happiness Oasis Memories Enable My home is a place full of happiness. When I am having a bad day, the thought of coming home always cheers me up and those thoughts always make me happy again. The reason my homes make me so happy is because the people I love are in them. They are the reason why my home is full of joy, love, and happiness each day. I have 2 homes because my parents are separated. But, it’s not a bad thing because then I get double the happiness, double the joy, and double the love. My home is my oasis. My home is a place where I feel safe. I don’t feel different when I am at home, I feel like I belong. When I read at home, I feel at peace. I feel like I can escape reality for a few minutes and just be alone. My home is where I get to relax. I can talk about my feelings and people will listen. I don’t need to hide anything when I am at home. My house is full of happy memories. Every time I enter my home, all I can think of is the amazing and happy memories I have shared in my home. I remember some of my Christmases from when I was younger. My mom made a present that looked like a snowman. I think that was my all-time favourite gift. I also remember going to Columbia with my dad to meet his side of the family. It was great! Memories like these are what make me think of home. When I am at home, I feel enabled. I feel like I can be myself and no one can tell me who or what I am. I feel free to do whatever I chose and that no one can say otherwise. I feel loved and appreciated when I am at home. Times when I feel enabled are after a good long rest. That will help me at school because then I won’t be tired and I will be ready to learn. Another time is after I have something to eat because then I have the energy to do things. These things are what help me be the best me. The more I think about it, the more I know home is not always just a place. Home is when you are surrounded by family and friends that love you and accept you for who you are. The people you love are why your home is your oasis and they are the ones that make those memories with you. They also are the people that make you feel like you can be the best version of yourself. No matter how big or small my home is, and no matter where I go in life, a piece of home will always be carried in my heart.
