Home: A feeling that we should all have

Home is a word of many meanings To some it means a place of refuge To others, it is where you spend time with the people you love To me, home isn't just a word, it is a feeling A feeling of joy A feeling of comfort A feeling of peace A feeling that you can hold on to even in your darkest moments Home isn't where you live, it's where you feel safe The feeling of coming home is like a getting a warm hug Coming home gives you a warm feeling A feeling that assures you everything is going to get better A feeling that will stay with you forever There is a common quote that people say, "Home is where the heart is" But this is truer than you think Home is where we make memories and cherish them Home is where we let our emotions soar Home is where we can envision our dreams and fears without being judged You can be at home anywhere Home is where we feel comfortable enough to do anything we want to do Home is where we figure out who we really are Home is where we can truly be ourselves But the thing is, Some people don't get the chance to experience this feeling Some people can't say, "I know what being at home feels like" Everyone deserves to feel safe and secure Everyone deserves to have hope even in their darkest times Which is why we have to work together to help people experience how home feels "Home isn’t where you’re from, it’s where you find light when all grows dark" - Pierce Brown
