Home-Sweet-Home

What is the meaning of home? Some think it’s a house, a place to sleep and eat, a roof over our heads, but it is so much more. My home is where we’re safe and protected, where we spend time with our families, where we make memories. Our home isn’t just walls and a roof. It's a place that gate keeps my memories to keep them safe while I'm gone. Builders built my home. My home developed into where my family gets to choose where everything goes, working together to build a home. Now, I get to run and have great times in my life within my home. During bad times, our home shelters us from the storm above our home and within our lives. Places make us feel emotions like sadness, happiness, and anger. It's normal, but when we do it in public, we’re judged. When feelings are at home, we get comforted. No one judges us when we’re in the walls of our home, our safe place. Most of us have big feelings, and some people are unable to show those feelings. However, when you feel safe within your home, you are able to release all those feelings and share them with the people you love most. After everything, home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling within a comfortable space to stay while getting back on your feet. Home is where I grew. seeing my parents wave goodbye, but even after that, we all deserve a home to stay day and night.
