A Special Feeling – the Feeling of Home

Home, to me, is very important and to feel relaxed and happy. An important part of home is family. Home should have respect and good relationships. A home should feel safe and secure. If a person doesn’t feel safe somewhere then it is not a home. At home, you spread love by giving it to your friends and family. Home is a place of privacy; home should be a place of comfort. It is a place to relax and celebrate the success and hard work of other people in your family. Home is where you celebrate holidays with your family, whether it is New Year’s, Thanksgiving, or a birthday. Home is where I spend time with my family. Sometimes, a house is a home to you, but not every house. What makes a house a home? A special feeling – the feeling of home. You might think that a place, your house, is a home, but why is it a home? Again, the feeling of home. It would be difficult to change a home, but it can still happen as long as it has the appropriate characteristics of a home and you feel like it is your home. Whether a place is a home or not is up to you. Does it have the feeling of home? If it does, then it is a home. At home, you should feel happy, but it is okay to feel a little sad sometimes, because you have your amazing family to cheer you up. So, enjoy life at home. A place without joy and family isn’t a home. Home is a happy place. Home is where everyone works together to succeed. This is what home means to me. I feel included and happy there, and I hope you do too.
