My Home

Home! 11 years in a safe, beautiful, and heartwarming community where I can be free to do whatever I want. Where I can fill my stomach with delicious, fueling food, huddle up in my soft, oversized blankets, and relax by the crackling fireplace. Siblings! People in my thrilling and memorable life that make me feel like I can be myself, even with their scented trail of sweaty armpits that they carry around. Friends! Energetic, reliable, and thoughtful peers who understand every single word I say before I open my mouth. Best friend! That one girl who I've been standing beside my entire life. The girl who can make me laugh even in my darkest moments. Teammates! Friends in life that make it impossible to feel lonely. Especially with all of the adventures we go on together. Parents! Lovers that have made everything possible for me. Who open up new opportunities for me and will support me no matter what. Baden! The place where I am accepted for who I am, with the cramped town feeling of when you know everyone you're with. Home isn’t four walls that surround you, it's the people that surround you. My siblings, friends, best friends, teammates, and parents are my home!
