Home is where I have a family, giving me love while they receive love back from them. Some people think, “ I have money, I can buy a house. But a home is where true love exists. A type of love nobody else can feel except for you. When you don't have a house, home always exists within your family's core. But even in the darkest, coldest places, your family can always create light around you. Do you wonder where you would be, if you were never in this world? I don’t know but I can tell you that your family gave you the chance to be in this world. As you grow, your family will always fade away at some point, and when they do, your family’s wise words and all the treasured memories can guide you through the world. I cherish the walls along with the solid roofs that have protected me since I was little. Our Family is the most important thing in our lives. I owe my life to my family. My family is so important to me, I can’t even express how much I love them. Home is a place where I can be me. Home is where I can stand up for the things I believe in without being judged. Home is where we can freely express feelings and celebrate cultures. There is no place like home. When I was going back home one night, It was dark and cold but I felt safe and warm because I was holding my family's hands. When I got home, it was warm and safe, but I felt love, warmth, and safety because I was at home with my family.
