Our home is our canvas

Homes are important to us and our family. Home is like our own canvas. It is our artwork that family, friends, and our loved ones made. Our beds and tables and such make our home colourful and livable. Our parents designed a place that our family can call home. Our homes and canvas are similar. For a canvas you add and add to your painting, just like to our homes we add our memories, we add things to make a masterpiece. Seeing your artwork broken and shattered into pieces is just like if someone broke our home, our safe place and destroyed it. For those people who are struggling with money they are always moving and they do not have the time to paint their dream home. They cannot build memories in their house and the children in those families cannot make a childhood in those homes. It's sad to think that they grew up without a full memory of their childhood only unfinished ones. To me it is sad and to me home is your safe place. Your home is a place where there is no stress, no more yelling, no more acting but to let loose and be free. Our lives cannot deal with stress and worries, and it is unhealthy for us, including people who want to raise a family. Home is like a painting, where we tell our stories. Those things are our souls and treasure that we keep and pass along to our family. Every home is not always the same, they are sometimes crowded and sometimes noisy. All households are different in their own ways like our art. All art is different and unique and that’s the best part about our homes! The reason I did this writing is to give family’s homes so they can build a connection. They can paint their memories and have a lovely family with out stress and worries and I wish in the near future that houses and apartments are more affordable to others. So our generation and the next generation can have that childhood they need.
