The Meaning of Home

It all starts with walls, a roof, and some other touches, Boom! You have a house! However to make it a home, you need the main ingredients: Family, friends and you! Even if you aren't perfect, Your home is always unique, even if it isn't sleek. Your house has many souvenirs, either if it is a couch or a chandelier, Your home also matters on the place, Either if it is north, south, west or even east, even if it is on the side of the road or so far away that you need a plane to visit your old street! To make it your home, people you trust must live in it even if they aren't the best, or the most fit. To make it your home you need to always remember it, Even if it's been years since you visited. To make it your home you need to feel happy and safe in it, Even if your home is a tent or a building, To make it your home you need to cherish it, Even if it looks the same as all the other apartments, To make it your home you don't need to try making it one, It comes naturally like a loose tooth or like having fun. No matter how sad, how happy, No matter how young or old, No matter how tall or short, No matter the race no matter the face, Everyone deserves a home.
