Something nice

You know, home isn’t just a place where you live or sleep. For me, home is everything. Everything I own, everything and everyone I know and sometimes even feelings that I keep from places. This doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you think about it for a while, you’ll start to realize: most of the most wonderful memories and feelings come from things that make you feel like you belong. Even if that’s not the case, even if you’ve not lived a nice life, you probably have a place to call home. Whether it’s a tree or the playground, there’s always something or someone that makes you feel nice. For some, they think they don’t have a home, but in reality, everything is home. Maybe you can help those people by giving them a physical home but sometimes, all they need is companionship. You know, I learned from someone that you don’t need to have money, or talent, or richness, or have a big shiny house to feel like you belong, all you need is a friend, or item, to call home. I might not win this contest, but I just wanted everyone to hear my message. To ponder about it. Maybe one day someone will consider you home.
