Homes

A house has 4 walls and a roof but home is more, like baking cookies with mom or watching a movie with dad or just having a handshakes with your siblings only you guys know. For me a home has a deep meaning and not just my family but the love that's in it, Like secrets with your siblings you promised not to tell your parents or inside jokes with your cousins that only you two get . Home doesn't always have to mean family, it could also mean friendship. Some spend with their friends because they feel safe with friends . Having sleepovers with friends or just hanging out makes memories. Like going to the movies with them and playing games makes life long memories. I love that with my friends I can be myself without feeling judged. My grandparents house isn't just a place where my parents grew up , it's a place with a bunch of memories , where my mom or dad had their childhood, where I slept over with my cousins and baked cookies. where I had half of my birthdays, it's a home where I have sweet treats without my parents knowing. That's why everybody deserves a home.
