The Meaning of Home

Why you feel safe at home is because your family and your friends are there and they can make you feel safe. Also when you are at your friend’s house, you can feel safe there because home is safe no matter whose home you are in. When you move you may not feel safe at first but no one does. After discussing with your family, you will feel better. It does not matter if your house is big or small, you will be ok. Sometimes when you move you don’t feel very safe but that’s fine not everyone has to and that’s ok. That is a place where your family and friends are. They are there for you no matter what. If you moved to a different Centre it can take a lot of time to get used to. Sometimes you will miss your old home because of the memories and the fun there but you can make new ones too. You can feel like you do not fit in, and you can feel like that a lot because you will miss your old friends, your old school, and home. It is ok though. You will be fine, and you can always feel better. You can always make new friends and friends are also like family to you. Sometimes at a friends’ house it doesn’t feel safe like home but that is their home and it’s their safe space. New homes are scary but can turn into ‘home’ after. It can feel like a maze, but it gets better. I know because I have moved a lot. I think now it is about 10 times. It is hard but it can get better in time. What type of things that can make you feel safe is like a toy of yours that you really like or your pet. It can also be one of your favorite things in your bedroom like some coloring things of yours. I really like to color and be creative and you can also have a favorite book. There can be a lot of things that can make you feel safe.
