What Home Means to Me

My home is my happy place, and I hope it is yours too. Home can be a cozy place to sit by the steaming fireplace on your sofa. Home does not mean the house that you live in, and it doesn't matter if the walls are grey or blue, or if your couch is soft as a cloud or hard as a rock, what matters is the people that are with you, not the things that are around you. The happy moments from each house you have lived in all put together to make you feel at home no matter where you are. Unfortunately, we live in a world where some people don't have a roof over their heads to keep them warm and cozy. How can we live in a world where someone's brother or grandma doesn't have a home? Every person deserves a home to live in with their family and pets that make them feel safe and protect them. Any house can become a home, whether big or small, old or new. Home is an important part of life, just like family. You can't always depend on your home to keep you warm, safe, or cozy. Sometimes you have to lean on family. Home should make you feel happy and more excited each day. Home is your happy place, not just mine.
