Why Everyone Should Have a Home

I think the meaning of home is a place where you feel welcomed and loved, where you don't have to put on an act because they don’t like who you really are. If I'm with my family I feel welcomed and loved so wherever we go is home, home doesn't have to be where you live. I think it matters what you do there to make memories and have fun. If you go to a cottage and make memories and have fun I'd call that place home cause I’d feel safe there. Personally if I was at my house it would be the place where I don’t feel comfortable or loved, maybe not even safe. It doesn't matter where you go with who but home is where I’m happy and safe. I might rent an apartment but if I don’t feel safe in that apartment I wouldn’t call it home. Home can also be someone else's home if you want it to be. If I lost everything in my home I’d be heartbroken because If I had to leave my home and everything would be forgotten I have so many memories in that home would be gone, you’d eventually forget it all. It's not fair to other people not to have someplace to call home. I don’t want to be forced to live somewhere that I don't feel safe or comfortable. I love my home more than everything else cause everything that I love is part of my home my family, my dog, my special heated blanket, but some people don’t have things like that where there family can’t go or some people don't have a family and that's my reasons for why everyone should have a home and feel safe and comfortable.
