My Safe Place

I live with my Mom and three siblings. I feel my home is my favorite place to be. I feel this way because I can truly be myself. I don't need to be someone I am not or feel I have to pretend to be or act a certain way. At school for example I need to follow certain rules and make certain choices I do not feel is me but at home I can be my true self. My family loves and accepts me for who I am and I don't need to try and be someone I am not. I feel safe at home and not judged. So many people just want to be liked and loved for who they truly are and not who others feel you should try and be. I hope everyone has a safe place to feel this way and with people that want you to be true to yourself. I am thankful and proud of me and who I am.
