My home for now

My home right now means I am living in a house with my family and my pets. I love where I live right now. The community and being near the ocean. I had to share a room with my brother because our house is small. My parents decided to let us each have our own rooms. I love having a space where I can do my art and listen to music. Home means more than just a house. It's about who is in it. It would be lonely to live in a house alone. Home is where I sleep, where I play games with my family, where I hang out with my friends when they come over, and it's where our family sits at our table to eat supper every night. Home is where we make it. We moved around and we always found a way to make it feel like home. I will live in this home with my family until one day I will move out on my own and start my own family. I would like to have a farmhouse when I grow up. I love farm animals. I would make that feel like a home. When I named this my home for now, I just mean that my home right now isn't forever, it's for now. I will grow up and move to another house that will be my new home that I can make memories in.
