The Meaning of Home

My home is where I belong, where I can sing and dance my heart out, where I can make random jokes, do random accents and be me! My home is where my dog Khaleesi is, the mother of all dragons. She is a bit chunky but she is also soft. Sometimes when something is bad or my parents are fighting, me and her snuggle up on my bed and watch tik-tok while eating a baguette or some sort of bread. My dog has got me through a lot. I love her so, so, so much. Home is where I am called Bear, Ru, Turkey, Ruby Rabbit, Rambi, and Skittle Butt. Those are my nicknames and they make me really happy when I am called them. Home is where I fight with my siblings. We have lots and lots of arguments then we fight and if one of us gets hurt then we beg the other one not to tell mom that we hurt them. Someone always gets something out of it. Home is where my family is: my dad, my mom, my sister, and my sibling (they are non-binary). They all make me super happy. Most of all home is where I am safe, happy, loved, understood, where I am warm, and where my friends and family are. That's what home is to me
