My Place in Life

My home is like no other place. Every time I enter my room at night, I feel the exhaustion crawl onto me at the end of the day. I can see the weariness go straight for me. I feel the peace surrounding me. Every time I enter my living room, I can feel the ease trickle through me and then climb onto me. Home is where I can see my family, as I stand near them, I can feel the love lure itself toward me. I can hear the soothing sounds of steady winds. Home is also where I can stuff my face on toothsome snacks, home is also where I can discuss science, arithmetic and current events with my parents. Home is where my key to success is and where hard work is obeyed. Home is where I can peacefully drink my dad's one and only famous Sharjah shake, as I feel the nice, cool, smooth, shake drain into my stomach after being outside on scorching hot as a neutron star summer day, I start feeling like it's winter. Home is where I can stand near the fireplace and sense the love and warmth massaging me. Every time we light up Diyas during Diwali, make blossom art during Onam or anything like that, I start feeling the true warmth and the unseen beauty of my home. Did you know? some people in this world say that home is not just a place where you can sleep, it is not just a roof and walls made of wood, it's family, and I actually also agree on a lot with those people, home is the place where we make identity, where we interact with people from our own clan, it's where we celebrate our culture and look into the past, but most of all... it is where you and I belong in.
