The Meaning of Home

To me, the meaning of home means having a loving and supportive family, with happy feelings. So what I'm trying to say is when you walk in a home you're supposed to feel this wind of joy and laughter and see people smiling. The thing that makes me happy in a home is feeling welcomed and feeling positive energy because negative energy does not make people welcome. My mom moved to a lot of houses, like eight, and she said she it only felt like home in two of them. So really, how many times do you really feel like you're at home? There's always a place whether it is in your bed or your couch, and mine is in my closet because it feels safe like nothing can find me. It feels like there's a force field around me so no monster can get me. And home can be a place or something somewhere. So what I'm trying to say is that everybody has a home and maybe you just haven't found it yet.
