Home, A Place of Love and Kindness

In this world, it is hard to feel at home. One might have a house, a space that is theirs but, to truly feel at home one needs much more than a physical space. One needs love, acceptance and feeling heard. I feel at home when I am loved and cared about. When I am loved and cared about by other people it feels like they are a part of my family. Being a part of someone's family can help them if they are in a time that may not be the best for them. When you care about them and you comfort them a little bit more so they can become more happy in any scenario they are in. I can assure you that it will make them happy and not think about what is going on. When you feel at home you feel accepted. When someone else is coming and says “hey jerk you're too dumb to play with us” you don’t feel accepted. When you're at home you are fully accepted no matter what but when you aren’t at home you don’t always feel accepted. Friends can help make others feel comfortable (and at home) by being accepting no matter what they look like, act like or sound like. If someone can accept you it will make you feel better than how you were doing before they asked and know that they can help. Last but not least when I feel at home I feel like I’m heard. When I feel heard it makes me feel at home because my parents always hear what I have to say even if I ask a question like “can I play seven hours of video games?” They hear me but they may say no. If I am not at home, I may not have people that listen to me but when someone does, it makes me feel happy that I can be heard not just at my physical house but also outside of my house. That makes me feel very special that people can take their time to listen to what I have to say. I think I will make an extra effort to listen to other people a little better to make them feel more at home. Overall, I think that if other people can try to do this to everyone it will make people feel more at home. Imagine a world where everyone feels this amount of respect. It could result in people being happier. After thinking about it, I will try to to do this more for others, will you?
