The Meaning of Home

Home feels like a safe place to be around your family and be protected. As a kid home is a place where you don’t have to worry, you don’t have to pay bills, you don’t have to pay for food, you can live freely and not stress, it is a calm place where you just get to love your family. Home feels like a bubble where you get to spend time with the people you love and care for when you might not have long left with them. At the end of the day you might think everyone has a home but really there are a lot of people who live alone on the streets so home is a place to enjoy and be grateful for. Your home is a spot full of emotions that can be good, or bad but at the end home is a great place to have. Home to me is like a warm hug that wraps around you for as long as you want, and that home keeps me safe. My home looks like a place for faith and hope. Home is a place where kids make memories and share joy. Homes are places where people can be proud to be themselves and not care about what others think. Home feels like a place where even through the toughest times gets you through it. Imagine bad things like a flame in your home and your family is that water. Home is like a bubble that just can’t get popped. It’s a private place to express your emotions, your real emotions and not have to hide them. If you have a small home or a run down home don't let people make fun of it because homes are not for looks they are for protection and family’s to spend time together so that means everyone's home is great in its own way. If people make fun of your home, be lucky you have one and don’t let them blow out your torch.
