The word home has a deeper meaning than just a word we use every day. It’s something we can say when we want to describe sitting in front of a cozy fire while taking a sip of nice, warm hot chocolate. It’s a word to describe where you truly love to be, and where you feel safe and at peace. I cannot write how home really is, because it’s too safe for words. I don’t know who came up with the word home, and I don't know the definition of it. But I do know what it means to me, my family, and my friends. It doesn’t matter if your house is modern, old, or better than any of your friends' houses. I shouldn’t be babbling on about myself, and houses and homes, but the people inside of them too. If you were given the following choice, which would you choose? A mansion full of people who need to learn the meaning of home, or a little cozy house full of your family?
