Home

Home might be someone’s idea of a house. It might have a prettier wall colour or a softer carpet. But, home isn’t just a house. It’s where you belong, where you can be yourself. Home is a place where no one can judge you. No one can neglect you or forsake you. You belong there. Yes, you can brag about the appearance but no, it’s not the looks that matter. Your house could be the shabbiest house ever. But it’s not the house we’re talking about, it’s HOME we’re talking about. Let’s put it here: The people who help you step by step to become better. They are HOME. They are: Helping Open-minded Munificent Empathetic H stands for Helpful. Family is helpful. They bring you up, helping you all the way, to become the best you can be. O stands for Open-minded. They welcome those who need caring and respect. They invite and care for you and the rest of the world who need it. M stands for Munificent. Munificent means extremely generous, here. Family gives so you have the chance to learn. They give for you. For your chance of succeeding. And finally, E stands for Empathetic. The family understands you. They know how you feel during times when you just need to express your feelings. They understand your feelings when you open up and pour your heart out to them. And that is what home means to me.
