Meaning of Home

What is home? Home is a place where you can feel safe and comfortable. You don’t need to worry about being judged. You shouldn’t be scared to express your feelings or talk about your worries. A house is just bricks and windows, but a home is where your heart and love is. I come home every day and smell my mom’s delicious and warm food. You make memories in your home and will remember them forever. When you’re at another person’s house it’s not like home. Home is a place to be happy and spend time with your family. Home is where I have family movie nights and smile at the smell of the buttery popcorn. Home is where we laugh together and make jokes. Home is the neighbourhood that I grew up in. The neighbourhood that had the big park, the big hill in the backyard to go sledding on. The school where I go to learn and have fun with my friends. The big tree in my backyard that I climb on in the summer. The feeling of the cold water splashing my back as I ran in the sprinkler. The chocolate running down my face as my fudgsicle melts in the summer. That is what home means to me.
