The Meaning of Home

Home is a place where everyone feels loved and welcomed, A place where you can break free from the chaos of the world, Where someone should always be able to lose all of the worry and stress of the world. Home is a place where all your emotions can break free, Somewhere all of your memories have been kept. Where you have grown from just a little baby barely walking to the person you are today, A place where you have learned from your mistakes and grown from them, Somewhere you have always been cared for and loved. Not only a place where you eat, sleep and drink, a place where you have been welcomed since day one, A place where you have been loved all your life, And a place doesn’t have to have 4 walls and a roof to be called home, It can be someone's arms when you are hugging them because you feel safe and loved, It can be a car because you love to travel, It can even just be outside in the nature because you think that it is calming and soothing to be out in nature, A home can be anyplace you feel safe, loved and welcomed, not just a building with four walls. Everyone should have the chance to have a home, so help other people feel included. Home is a sanctuary for people, a safe place where you can be “you”. Where you don't have to worry about what you look like and if people will judge you or not. A place where people should trust each other. A place where everyone should be able to have and experience the freedom and joy of having a home.
