What Home Means to Me

Now, many of you guys out there may be unlucky enough to be on the streets, but for those who are lucky enough (like me) to have the money to own and pay the bills for a house you may have a lot of things to be thankful for like the heating your house provides, the warmth and comfort your house provides, and of course a nice bed to sleep on in your room or a room you share with someone. Below I will be saying some things about what home means to me and some of the things I will list might be things that you’re already thankful for but some of them may also be new things that you haven’t thought about or thanked people about. 1. Our home is a place where beautiful memories are made. It’s where we learned how to take our first steps, run and where we learned to communicate to our family. It’s where I first learned how to cook and it’s also the place where I spent most of the time spending time with my family. Lastly, it’s the place where life blossoms and where amazing memories never end. 2. Our home is a safe haven and a comfort zone. Home is a place to live with our families and pets and enjoy time with friends. Our house is a place to build memories as well as a way to prepare for future wealth and our house is a place where we can truly just enjoy and be ourselves. 3. A home gives people a place to care more about the people that mean the most to them. It’s a place to tell amusing tales to young ones and definitely tales/stories they will remember forever. Furthermore, home is more than a place; it’s a feeling. It is a feeling of contentment and happiness that they will share with the ones they love the most. Lastly, in my opinion our home is everywhere. It is in our uncle’s home, our aunt’s home anyones home and even if you don’t know the person and you’re in their house please treat it like your own home and some of the things you can do to do that is clean after yourself, pick something up even if it is not yours, and lastly just love your surroundings.
