What is a home?

A home is a place where you can be yourself and feel good knowing that you're supported by family, friends and others. A home is where you feel at bay and comfortable in your own space of being. A home is where memories are held and made, mistakes are made into memories, fun times in the backyard, bonfires, everything is memorable at home. A home is a place where you can feel safe. You can have many different homes, places where you can feel safe and people that make you feel safe. The thing with having different homes is that you have different things and traditions that make you feel at home. You can feel at home at a restaurant, and at your friend’s house or anywhere because it could be the food or the vibe that the home gives off. Animals have homes just like ours because it’s what makes it a home like family. It’s not just a shelter but a place that they are going to be comfortable in and be happy in with their family. Home is where you or anyone in general can feel passionate about it because you can be happy with family or friends. The being of a home means that it is a place where people can live their lives with each other like a family. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friend because if you have a distant family or no family at all, it's fine because in that home with that friend or friends, it's still a home no matter what. That’s what a home is.
