This Is The Meaning Of Home

A place to call home has family, happiness, but some sad moments are also important. It is a place to get annoyed by an annoying brother. Parents to support you in hard times, with older siblings to teach you the ways. It is not just four walls, a roof and floors, but it's a place with emotions overflowing. A family that eats all the snacks before you can even see them. It looks like a building, but what you don't see is the magic inside, that's what home actually means. It's not just what's inside, but the stories with them are why they are sentimental. Reading books, watching tv, and eating the foods that your family eats. Your parents helping you to get to school, and playing games with your friends after. Feeding and playing with your pets. Your house is only one part of your home because your neighbourhood is part of it, too! The grocery store, playgrounds, restaurants, and libraries are also part of your home, because your home is just a place you belong! You are with your friends and enemies, who help you mature. You get lots of injuries, which just help you to get stronger. This is the meaning of HOME!
