What is home to me?

When I think of home I think of a place where you can feel safe and trusted. There are a lot of different meanings of homes and my meaning of home is where I can feel happiness, comfortable, and where I can be myself. Most importantly I feel loved! Home feels like a very important thing in my life. If I didn’t have a home where I can feel safe and happy then I don’t know where I would be right now. When I walk inside in my home just one step inside I already feel happiness. It’s just a place where you can be yourself and not worry about others. It’s where you can spill your guts and say everything that has been bothering you outside of your home. I see my family and the people I love. When I look at their faces I feel the brightness coming through and the happiness. I feel a mix of emotions and when they laugh it brings a whole different mood to my face. It is like a thing has happened to me and I can’t feel anything. I imagine all the memories that I have had in this house. All the fun and embarrassing moments. I hear the laughter all around the place like looking back at memories even if they were embarrassing they are a very important part of my life. I also hear the videos my sister watches on the T.V that we enjoy watching in our free time. I hear some of the videos my mom watches on how to do this recipe and what ingredients you need. Even when it is sometimes annoying for you to hear the same thing day after day you will look back at it and smile. All of these are the things that I find important to find a happy home. What do you think makes a great home?
