THE MEANING OF HOME

Have you ever wondered what the meaning of home really means? Well it’s not the 4 walls that surround you. It’s about love. At home you should feel safe and comfortable because your parents are always there to help you through hard times. What I love about home is who I share it with. Home is safe, calm and enjoyable Home is where I grew up, where I made mistakes and learned from them. It's also about laughter and happiness. It’s where I was raised, where I had the people who cared about me the most. It can also be about annoying your siblings just to get what you want. Once I really wanted my sister’s pen I stayed in her room for 5 minutes and kept saying please over and over again. Then she finally agreed just to get me to stop. Annoying people can be very fun right? Anyways when you're at home you know that you can trust the people around you because they trust you. Home isn’t about playing video games with your friends, it's about spending time with your family. Being happy. In conclusion, Home isn’t your house, it's about how much your family and friends care about you. Love is the strongest bond you can have with your family
