In My Own Perfect Home

In my perfect home, I got scolded many times to learn that life is not a fairy tale. I cried many times to learn that my mistakes make me a better person. In my own perfect home, I'm always told to do this, this must be done. I'm fed up but I have to do it because I love them and they love me. In my own perfect home, you don't always have to be happy. Sometimes or often you have to sacrifice your own happiness for the good of everyone. In my own perfect home, having joy in your heart is when you learn to be happy in small things. Endure the hardships of life and be brave to learn to stand on my own feet. In my own perfect home, my family is not perfect, not even near perfect. But I have a perfect home where reality becomes an opportunity to never give up in life. In my own perfect home, I’m given a fighting chance to endure trials and learn from it. I know even if they are gone, no matter where I go, my family, my home is always in my heart.
