HOME

When I walk across the doorstep of my home all my worries from a long day at school fade away like leaves in the breeze. I can talk to my cat, read my own books, and listen to my own style of music in peace without be bothered or teased about it. It isn’t about who has the highest score in some video game or who has the cutest outfit or even how many trophies or first place ribbons someone’s got. It’s about having a place where you feel safe and loved and appreciated by your loved ones, be their sister, brother, father, mother or even grandmother or grandfather. The place where you are loved no matter how much you frustrate them (your loved ones). The place where you wake up each morning is HOME.
