The Meaning of Home

Home is where me and my family live. Every day I get woken up by my parents or my cat and I get up in the morning and then I go downstairs. When I go downstairs, I wake up to breakfast, but some people don't have breakfast which is sad and I want to help that. I like that I have a good home but I don't like how some people don't have a good home. When I was young, I did not have a good home. But now me and my family do have a good home. When I see someone homeless, I give them some food and not enough money though, just enough to buy some food, but I don’t want them to buy drugs and alcohol. There are a lot of drugs and homeless people behind my house and they try to steal things, which I do not like. In my home, I feel safe and warm but some people don't feel safe and comfortable. I know rent and going up A BUNCH which is hard to pay for. Even not that long ago there was someone behind my house who stole and threw a 200 dollar power tool over a fence. Why, you may ask? He was getting chased by police. Home is where I feel comfort, love, safety, and warmness. A house is empty, cold and dark, but a home is warm, comfortable, loving and full.
