HOME Sweet Home

HOME. When I think of HOME I never know what to think or say. It's more of a feeling; the feeling that you have a place that you can cry, you can love, you can smile with your family, with your friends, your pets; it's a place you treasure for all your life. HOME can mean many things to many people. It can mean you feel safe, it can mean you feel lazy... It can even mean you feel unsafe but that you almost never find. HOME for me is wherever my family is because you have no HOME until you or your family decides to fill it with memories of love and joy; it’s one of the most amazing feelings to know that you have HOME; many people take their HOME for granted but when they think about it they realize how much HOME means to them. It means that you are a part of where you live. Your community, your country and you are a part of this world and it welcomes you. Whether you are big or small, old or young you deserve a HOME. HOME is a place where you can be yourself and not worry about people seeing you. There is no place like your HOME your HOME is a fortress, a castle. You should have pride in your HOME. Your HOME gives so much to you; shelter, warmth, comfort, and love and I hope you are giving something back as well. It’s an endless cycle of giving. But HOME is not the only place that can give those things. It could be a cottage or a grandparents’ or your cousin's place but you will mostly find it at HOME. Or that's what I find.
