My Home

Home is in many places. My house is home because it is my safe haven. I feel protected which can help me sleep. My house takes care of my worries. Home is in many places. My family is home because they love and forgive me. I believe that family is like a little world. They support me. They let me express my emotions whether I am sad or frustrated. Whenever I do well, I feel their love. Whenever I do something wrong, I am forgiven. My family makes me confident. Home is in many places. My friends are home because they bring out the laughter in me. I feel joy when we spend time together even if I am feeling down. We laugh and play at recess and bond over events. My friends make me playful. Home is in many places. My backyard is home because it makes me comfortable. I feel comfortable as I lay down in the wavy soft grass with the warm breeze around me after a tiresome day. My backyard makes me cozy. Home is in many places. My city is home because it gives me freedom. As I go outdoors I remember the freedom I have is limitless. Vancouver makes me feel like I am on top of the world. Home is in many places. My country is home because it brings back memories. They rush back to me as I travel through Canada. Canada is where I grew up my whole life. Canada makes me adventurous. It doesn't matter if your house is fancy or modest as long as you remember that your house is made of bricks, but home is where you are surrounded by love. We also believe the way to live is to live well, laugh often, and love always.
