The Meaning of Home

The meaning of home is when you stay inside during a storm drinking hot chocolate while wrapped up in your blankets like a sentient taco. However, there are some people who (I'm pretty sure) do crimes just to shield themselves from the cold. People with homes are able to go to our table and have a feast with our family. But the homeless people have to hold a cup all day for a simple snack. People with homes could get a job they like and get good money but homeless people work as hard as they can to get a couple of dollars per day. People with homes get to faceplant into their bed and be cozy, yet homeless people have to sleep on a cold, metal bench with no blanket all night. We live in a society where things are too expensive, even for things we need, so it sucks that these unfortunate people have to sit outside all day. So if you have a dollar to spare consider donating it to people in need.
