What Home Represents to Me

The feeling of home is the same feeling as pure happiness. When I get home, I feel comfort, I don’t have to worry about people judging me and people talking about me. I feel more relaxed at home, because there's food on the table and I have a bed to sleep in, some people don’t realize that and they take it for granted. Home feels amazing to me because when I walk in I have a family that asks if I am okay, or how was my day at school. The feeling of home means warmth and not coldness. At home I feel most secure since I have locks on doors and I don’t have to worry about food security. Home is where I feel the most welcomed, other places don’t have the same feeling as home does. In my home I don’t worry about things that need to be done or me being extremely anxious, since I have a really happy and caring family that gives me things that I need. At home I can do what I want, I am able to work out at home without someone saying negative things about me that I need to fix,or I am able to just play sports at home like basketball and football, maybe even soccer. At home is where I can play my games peacefully and where I am able to play with who I want, and also I have more freedom and creativity at home. So Home to me is really joyful for me and also really important to me, some people take that for granted although for me I am really thankful for what I have.
