In a home, not in a house, that is what I learned.

I am going to tell you something that I have learned. When you walk into your home you should feel warm and welcome. In a house you don't feel that. In a home everything runs on love and kindness. In a house it doesn't. In a home you can do everything freely and do the things you are passionate about. In a house you can’t. In your home you can make jokes and have fun. In a house you don’t. I know this because I live in a home where I always feel safe, warm, welcome and loved. I can do everything I love, I am not afraid to be me. I learned that from the virus Covid-19 because I have been with my family in our home this whole time. This is how I know how amazing it is that I have a home. I am so grateful for what I have. All my friends live near me so it's the perfect place to live. My home is the only place I have lived in my entire life and when I find a new home the love and the kindness will keep going. That is what I have learned.
