Home

Lots of people think a home is just a building, an apartment, a cabin, or even a dungeon, but I think they are wrong. I own a nice big house that fits four people. But to me, it is more than just a big and nice house: it is a place filled with fun, joy, love, colours, and so much more. When I think of home, I think of a very special place. It is a place where you can feel comfortable and you can express your feelings to your family and sometimes even friends. When you are at home you should be able to feel overly safe, very secure, and a place to feel awesome no matter what you do. Home is where you can make as many mistakes as you want. Then after maybe even learning from those mistakes, no one will ever judge you. A home is a place where you take your first ever couple of bites, where you take your first steps and where you grow up. Those are memories, and those memories will begin at home. Everyone deserves to have a home. You don’t need to afford a home to have one, your home is where you feel comfortable. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a house; it can be anywhere, small or big, outside or inside, with others or without. I am so grateful and lucky to have such an amazing home.
