The Meaning of Home

The sound of piano in my living room makes me feel at home. Home to me is love, belonging and safety. Home is where I feel connected to everything in my life. When I see my family I no longer feel alone. When I smell pasta, Hawaiian pizza,hamburgers,pokey bowl,shrimp tacos and Mac & cheese I feel at home. When I hear my family and friends talking I feel at home. When I touch my trophy I feel at home. When I hear my nanny and family I feel at home. When I feel my stuffy Wolfe I feel at home. My family always loves me and so I feel special. When I see my friends and family I feel so much better to be with. It’s like they know I have a connection to them. I just don’t know if they always feel like I do when I see them. I think it’s important to know what they’re feeling because if you don’t know you might hurt their feelings or something else that might hurt you. The way you feel can affect your mood or your feelings. You can be a listener to others and you could be friends. I think it’s important to be open to others around you. If you’re a bad listener to yourself you might not feel at home. You can always be at home if you feel love. I feel at home when I see my room. When I talk about Greek and Roman gods I feel at home. It’s important to know that you are loved by others. There is also a way to be loved. It is to love them and they will love you back. I know I am loved by a lot of people.
