Home is where I meet my basic needs.

To me, home is a place where I know I can meet my basic needs like food and water. A place where you can loosen or unwind your body and forget about worrying. And a place where you can enjoy your life without being judged. I am happy I have a home that has the things I need, it is my favourite place in the whole wide world. Basic needs are an important part of home because they're mandatory for living, without them you can’t survive more than a week. Basic needs don't just have to be food and water, they can be stuff like electronic devices and fidget toys for you to enjoy. I have a lot of basic needs like an iPad and a sketching set for me to play with when I'm bored. Home is also a place where you can loosen or unwind your body, when you arrive at home you can go to your ‘secret place or space’ if you have one, and forget about being worried; space is also one of our basic needs. You have loved ones to care for you, to make you worry-free, and to help you sleep. You shouldn’t worry about anything bad happening to you when you are at home. Finally, home is a place where you can live without being judged. What I mean by that is you shouldn't be forced to do stuff you don’t like, to clean dishes, and to eat whatever is on the plate. If people judge you or force you, home wouldn't really feel like ’home’. You should be able to do what makes you feel at home, and to eat however much food you want. Judging a kid’s or another person’s life is just wrong. In conclusion, I think home is a place where if you get used to it, you will enjoy the rest of your life. After you leave home, you can always come back for the basic needs.
