The Meaning of Home

Some people think “oh home is just a building, nothing more.” But to be honest, id have to disagree. A home could be a lot of things whether it is good or bad. I think it's good that lots of people have houses! but I still feel terrible for people with no home. In my opinion, everyone deserves a home, Old or young, female, male, or other. Everyone deserves a home. Because in a home you can feel however you want. A home is a place where you can be yourself, where you can be happy and express your feelings, you could feel love for the ones you live with and have hope. It's somewhere where forgiveness exists. And you can let yourself be free, there are no limits and you can reach for the stars! Home is not just somewhere your family lives, it's a place for feelings. And home and a house are two very different things, a house is somewhere made up of poles and wood but a home is something that lies in your heart. You can't touch it but you can feel it. Home is somewhere that is secure, I can feel safe in my home. My personal definition of a safe home is when you enter the house and the feeling of warmth and comfort surrounds you. It's better than when you lay down in a freshly made bed after a long day, not only is it better it's also happier. The familiar feeling is one of the reasons you feel so safe, it's just like how when you're somewhere you've never been before you are not very comfortable, but the opposite. Meanwhile, when you go somewhere you've been around or know well you feel much safer. Being secure and feeling safe in a home is something everyone deserves. It also holds the people I love with it and without them, I don't think home would be much the same as it is now. sisters, brothers, cats, or dogs. Moms and dads. They all are in homes and make homes how they should be. And we keep each other company or play board games. They are always there for me when I need them or am going through rough times and for that, I'll always be there for them as well. Having someone with me and someone to socialize with that I know and am close to gives me an unexplainable type of joy. Sometimes you love your home for reasons you can't even explain. A home is one of those things that can be described but at the same time can't. Because everyone feels and has different opinions about the way they think about home. Sure a home is replaceable but it takes a while to replace. It's really hard to replace because for me it takes at least 7 months for a new home to start feeling like one.
