Somewhere I Want to Be

Where would you go if you were to be lost in a place where you do not feel like you belong? I would go home. It would be a place where I feel safe and welcomed. It is not only a place, it is also a sensation, a feeling like you were meant to be there. It is a place where no one judges you for being yourself. You are able to use your extraordinary talents and unique personalities to shine in your own ways. Home, a place where I can turn to if I need help. That is where my community is, it is where I vent all my feelings if I need to let my emotions out. It is a place where all my fear leaves and where the only thing I can remember is all the unforgettable memories made with people I know and love the most. It is where small animals come and go, where I am welcomed by my dog every time I enter the house. Home is not only one place it is everywhere as long as the people you care the most are with you, fighting alongside you as you travel to the other side of the long road of life. Home, a feeling where you want to be there and that it was meant to be. It is an open feeling, and you are a unique star that helps other stars, which could be anyone, brighten up constellations. A feeling like if you are in trouble you always have someone to lean on, someone you can always trust. The feeling of when you were younger sitting on your parents’ lap as they read you a bedtime story. The feeling of being worthy and a part of the community we are in.
