The Meaning of Home

Home is your family, home is my family, home is with me and I'm with them, home is where my family's love never fades and the darkness ceases. Home is the foundation of my family's love and kindness, home is where we are from and home is our place of peace and kindness Home follows you and so do the memories and guilt of leaving home, but your family follows you close in your heart too. You're lucky to have a home, friends and family because you're one of a kind. When I come home I can smell the fresh smell of Mom's cooking and the sound of Dad's news with the echoing my siblings fighting in the background this is my meaning of home and everyone has a different meaning. Home is a meaning of life and memories to fill your heart with kindness and joy, with the friends and family you make along the way, so you can pass that on to your friends and kids who haven't learnt that yet. Home is no place to be demolished and broken. Home is not a building where there are people making you pay them or give them something so you don't get kicked out because your behind in bills or payment because you are not in a place of emptiness. You are living in a home at every moment because you are a part of it. You may think you're not at home, you may think that home is just a place that you can leave so easily or quickly. Home is much more than that. Home is your family memories and friends. If you want to leave those, you want to leave everything. There's no place like home.
