What does home mean to me?

What does home mean to me? There are many answers about what home means to me, but the most important three are safety, privacy and siblings.Home should bring happiness to a person and most of us have a home. Home is the heart of a person, and home is the warm place of a person’s life. Home can keep you safe. Home can let you be warm when it is raining or snowing outside. Home is the skin of the meat. We all have a home. Even animals have one too. Home can block the rain and snow outside, and home can keep you warm. Home is very important, and there are many different kinds of homes. Robins build homes in the trees, wolves build homes in the caves, octopuses build homes in the ocean, and we build homes on land. Many people in the world do not have homes, so we have to take care of our homes and community. Home can keep your privacy, like a friend that keeps your secrets. You can do many things in your home, and no one will notice what you do. Homes are made of rocks or wood, no one can see through them, not even Superman. You can make your house look however you want and no one will say bad things about it, because they care about their own house too. You can do anything in your house and no one will see it because that is your own privacy and they have theirs too. Home is a place filled with siblings and laughter, and you can find love and kindness in your home. Without them, your home will become only a house, and not a home. Your siblings will give you as much love as you want, and they care about you. Siblings are a part of your life and siblings sometimes are annoying but they also give you love. Siblings annoy you because they love you, if they don’t love you, they will not talk to you. Being the only child in your house is very boring because no one can play with you all day. Home is a safe place, and a nice place. Home is the most important place to us in our lives. Home is not only a place but also a feeling. I believe that a home has more than four walls and a roof on the head. Home is an environment. It feels great when I return home from my long journey. A house belongs to you but you belong the most at in a home.
