The Meaning of Home

From my point of view, a home is not just a place with many doors, windows and a big, fluffy couch. It’s a place where I can identify trust without any fuss! I get the feeling of safety, and I never feel it escape me. There might be a pinch of chaos, but we still greet each other with a simple ‘’Hey boss!’’. On Friday nights, we'll gather together, share some laughter and watch Madagascar! Home is a place where there’s shoving ,but lots of loving. Home is a place where my mouth is never dry because I have the chance to swim in water, just like a graceful otter. I can fall into my cozy bed, then wake up and smell my yummy breakfast that waits ahead! Home is a place where I never have to be afraid of the spooky, dark night-shade. I feel like I make connections, while feeling protection. It’s not only humans that have a shelter, even animals and nature have their own special way of living in a habitat . Given that, I try my best to make everyone feel like they belong, and even you can tag along!
