Home, What Does it Mean?

Home, what does it mean? Home usually means a safe place, a comfortable place, or a caring and kind place, it can have a family and so many other things that I could use to explain what a home can be. A home is a place where you grow up or you have a family there, but it does not matter which one it is, a home always comes with memories, whether they are good or bad. Even though a home may be perceived as a good environment and a safe place to stay it is not always like that, what I mean is that yes, some homes are what you would think, happy, family, and loving, but it can also be a place where someone may feel upset all the time or uncomfortable, un-safe, painful, and many other terrible things, but that is why there are the kind people in the world that are trying to help people that experience that. But the best thing that would usually come from a home is a family, they are people who grow up with you, that help you with experiencing new things, they don’t judge you and they help you through life and everything that may come towards you. When you don’t appreciate your own home because let’s say you have a lot of chores or you don’t listen which leads you into getting in trouble well think of this, You get food down on your plate even if you don’t like that food appreciate it, you get to wake up in a warm comfortable bed appreciate it, you get to play with toys or on an electronic even if it’s not for long appreciate it. Why I am saying to appreciate it is because there are people who cannot get food or cannot wake up on a comfortable warm bed, they don’t get to do what they want because they don’t have a home, they don’t have the food and water that they need. They have barely anything or they have nothing, they don’t have the things they need to survive. But it gets worse when it comes to kids because if someone gets evicted or something because they could not pay their rent, they may be in a difficult situation as in being pregnant or they could even have kids which is more stress because in that situation you cannot even take care of yourself, but the kids would not have a life we have now these kids will not have a comfy and loving place to call home as we do, the people who may be pregnant cannot go to the hospital because they cannot afford their hospital fees.
