My loving home

My home is a place to go when I feel alone and sad. My home isn’t built with four walls and a roof, its built with love, joy, trust, and acceptance. My home is not just the home I live in its also other things that bring me joy like music, my parents and siblings, school, friendships, and food. Music is a big part of my home. Music brings me joy, comfort, and peace. I am also incredibly grateful I can talk to my parents and enjoy their presence. Some homes do not have that. Sometimes people fear their homes. My parents and sibling brings happiness and makes me feel loved. Some people do not get that. Another part of my home is school. If school never existed, I would not have any friends. My school brought me these amazing teachers and friendships that have lasted over 6 years and I am so grateful for those friendships. I feel like I am at home when I am with my friends, but some friendships feel like I am getting pulled away from home and my safe place. I gave up those kinds of friendship because I want to build stronger relationships with my friends that brings me closer to my home and not pull me away from home. I also loved food because it helps me live and some foods tastes so good, they make my feel happy. There are a lot of people who do not get these amazing foods. Some people do not even get food or clean water. If you have a loving family, a nice education, good friendships, clean water, and food, be grateful because one day all those things could disappear. So, take what you have now and be grateful of every good thing that you have right now. Millions of people do not get that.
