This is Home to Me

I think for me home doesn't have to be a place that I will stay forever, as a place where I am comfortable living can change. For instance some campsites I was very happy in, I felt like I could stay in them forever, but some I felt unsafe and uncomfortable. Along with being safe and comfortable, I think that home should have people, or essences of relatives and friends. Friends and family give me a warm feeling, as if they are hugging me all the time, but it can be good to get away from them sometimes. A summer camp with friends can sometimes be as good as home, as the friends comfort me and help me when I need it. Plus, you’ve gotta have the urban legends. They tell a story, and add the little bit of spice that makes a place really homey, as they explain some things about the place that people never think of. If you can find your group of people to gossip with, tell stories, and just shape the world around you, I think you’ve got yourself a great place.
