Meaning of Home

The meaning of home is where you feel happy, and usually where family is. Home is a place for happiness, to be comfortable, to just be yourself! And it is where you have memories. It doesn't matter if they're happy or not. For me the absolute most important thing to me is just family. They make you have emotions and show you kindness, and love. You may not always agree and if you wish you were an only child, you would be pretty sad and empty if you were. Why I am pretty lucky to have a family. The only thing homeless people have is the bitter cold, and the hot sun. And sometimes I will see some homeless people, and it's pretty depressing. It makes you appreciate the things you have. Like food, and even a house. It really makes me show some empathy inside. It’s a pretty sad picture that some can’t even get jobs, or get very little from it. While homeless people or people who need help and are outside hungry, some of us are just throwing money all over the place! They could make um.. a money TORNADO! When They really could be helping out. I, for one, am very fortunate to have all the things I need. Why I even have great neighbors that are very kind, and reliable! Others are alone, and feel insecure, or in other words unsafe. I have some safety measures and locks on our doors. Others, none. Just out in the open and vulnerable. The meaning of home is one of the most important things. Reese
