The Importance of a Home

Home for me is filled with memories as well as love and is a place where you feel belong. Home is different for everyone. However, no matter who you are, everyone deserves a home. Home is an infernal, furious, uproar of flame that will always be lit and ignited with joy, family, and laughter. Sometimes it’s a big strong fire and sometimes it’s a small, smoldering, piece of coal but it will always be a flame no matter what. And if not you can always just start a new fire anytime. A home is a place where you can grow. And for most a home is where family is. A home is where you can smell the scent of mom’s cooking. Home is a place where family and friends share joy that can never be felt anywhere else. Home is a place where you can curl up in a blanket and eat potato chips while watching a movie. Home is a place where laughter bounces off the walls. Home isn’t just a place with rooms, walls, and a roof. It’s more than that. Home is where you can find comfort, and stress fades away. Home is reassuring. Home is where you can wake up on a sunny, summer morning, where the birds are chirping, and you run down the stairs to eat a fresh bowl of cereal while your parents are still asleep. Then proceed to run outside and embrace the hot summer breeze. It’s where you are yourself with your feelings. And all those things linked together, and connected it makes it a home. In conclusion, Home is a place where it reflects you as a person. Some homes are green, some are blue, but most importantly is that it’s a home to you.
