Home is What You Make It

A place of love, with heart. Everyone needs a home in life. Home. Wherever you go, home is the one place that’s always with you. Home. It doesn’t matter if it's a bench in a park, in a city, or a corner of a street. Home is where you feel comfortable and safe. Home is where love is big! If I had a penny every time I thought about home, I would have enough money to buy a house. A home is forever, even if you're gone. The feelings of home live on in the memories of children. Sometimes home is beautiful, sometimes it's not … but no matter what, home is yours to keep forever. It's like a present already open. Eight planets, one earth, seven continents, 257 countries and one home. Every speck of dust, every fingerprint is a memory. If you go away on a trip, you reminisce about home and what it holds for you. You are homesick for the comforts of home and the people you surround yourself with. Home is what you make it. Home is everything.
