Family is Home

Intro Understanding, acceptance and love. These are some of the things that build a home. No. These are some of the things that build a family. A house cannot turn into a home without a family. Even if you live on the streets, as long as you are with your family, you are home. Understanding Understanding is an important material to build a family because you need to properly understand where someone is coming from. You cannot properly accept someone without understanding them. Understanding is when you understand where someone is coming from. When I think of my family, I think about how they understand me no matter what. Understanding is my floor. Acceptance Acceptance is an important material to build a family because only if you truly accept and understand someone only then can you have unconditional love. My family accepts me no matter what. If I tell my family something about my identity, I know that they will accept me for who I am. My family is truly there for me no matter what. Acceptance is my walls. Love Acceptance and understanding are important materials of a family, but they’re also important materials of love. True love is unconditional. Your parents may seem like they’re trying to be annoying, but they’re actually trying to prepare you for the world. My family loves me unconditionally. Love is my roof. Family Understanding, acceptance and love. These are just some of the things that build a family. I don’t know what I would do without my family. All I know is that my world would come crashing down. Your friends are your chosen family. Your pets are your family. Your family is your family. The love that surrounds a family is pure and true, and that is what turns a house into a home.
