Home, What Does It Mean?

Home, it could be anything. It could be a house or an apartment, a school or a gym. But for me, home is somewhere I can put my feet up and relax. Home is somewhere I can hangout and not worry about anything; that test in two months? Gone. That embarrassing thing I did in front of my crush? Gone. That homework that's due in an hour? Gone. Wait.. maybe I should do that now. Home is also people, but not just any people. People who I care about, people who I want to hang out with, people who I will protect with my life, in other words, people that I love. Anywhere those people are, it feels like home. Those people could be anyone in your family, your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your dog, your cat, your goldfish named Mister Bubbles! It could be someone outside of your family like; your best friend, your bus driver, your barber, your teacher, the old lady at the store, the cashier, your teammates, your classmates, your neighbor and your neighbor's dog! I think you understand my point, home can be anyone or anything, any size, shape, weight, or form. As long as you feel safe and happy.
