What HOME means to me

There are never near enough pages to describe a home but here it goes: For me home is not a structure but a cluster of everything that matters to me. It's a place where you're loved and love. A home's feeling can't fit in four walls. My home is where I rest though it might be a mess. My home may change as I grow but it will always feel like home. A house is not a home a home should not belong in the same dictionary as a house because a house is an inanimate object while the crust of a house may look like a house but don't get confused it's the inside that counts, so different from a home. Everyone deserves a home, everyone can have a house but some can't find a home so this is why i write to you now for this exact reason. A home keeps me safe when everything is at stake. And especially in these times everyone needs a place to go they need a home not just the ones who can afford one. A home is more than can be told, so reader now i write day and night This message must be told. Though your location may change on a map it feels the same. When you come home you will always feel the same. So this is what home truly means to me. There is much more that I can't fit right now. Finally a big thank you to habitat for humanity for making this possible and grainting so many wishes and showing so much empathy.
