What home means to me

I have always felt that home is not just a building. The reasoning for that is because home is a place where you feel happy, comfortable, safe, at ease, and a place where you can let your feelings out when you are sad, mad, scared, and just talk when you need to. Whereas a house is just a building with four walls and a roof, and don't get me wrong you can make memories in a house. BUT you cherish those memories with your family at your home. Because good memories are things you keep and cherish in your heart forever. In my home I feel safe, comfortable, Happy, cozy, and at ease. I know everyone deserves a nice home even if they are ignorant, rude, etc. because I know that if someone acts rude there's always a reason why someone acts that way, it could be bullies at school or just bullies, family problems, abusive guardians, and PLENTY more. I’m so happy that Habitat for Humanity is doing this for people who can’t have affordable housing and a safe home!
