A Home

Home. A home is when you're covered in love and support, where you can be yourself. Home is also personal. Everybody's home is different. Sometimes it comes down to the smallest details. Sometimes you can see it from a mile away. The day you're born, your own home is being built. The first time you open your eyes, you're surrounded with love. The first time you take your first steps or ride a bike for the first time, you can hear your family members cheer you on. Ten years later as you give a test to your parents, you hope your mom will be happy for you. Happiness and love are all they feel, along with the most amazing hugs ever. As you work your first hour at your new job, your perfect home is being built. Home, every second, every breath, a new building block is being placed. Hundreds of blocks each and every day for everything you do. All the decisions you make, good or bad, help you grow your home. When you're finished building your home, look in and take a look. It will be filled with all your memories. All your loved ones looking at you lovingly or maybe a best friend who’s been with you for your whole life. What a wonderful thing a home is, don't you think?
