What is a Home?

Many people think a house is just a fancy building with fancy furniture. They are wrong, a home is where you feel comfortable, welcoming and so many more things. It is not about all the fancy furniture; it is about how you feel. You might live in a small apartment but that does not matter. What matters is that you feel welcomed and cozy. Only you know when you are at your home. If someone says “You can’t even afford a house? Wow, you are so poor. Haha.” Do not listen to them, only you know where your home is. If you have a home, you are incredibly lucky. You should be grateful because there are people with no homes. Some people with no home are grateful for where they live. I think we should be grateful for our homes, I am really grateful for my house. In my home I have unconditional love and so does the people that live with me. Sometimes when we go for a stroll we see people with no home, but they are happy because they are a family and see some food to eat. I personally think everyone deserves a home. Some people have a home, they are really ungrateful they do not care about their home they think when they are around money that they are at there home. But that not true money is not your home. Your home could be anywhere at a school, shelter, dumpster, friends house. It could be anything. Home is a thing to enjoy, be yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, I want you to know that you are not at your home. No one can say this is your home. Only you can know when you’re at your home.
