What Home means to Me

In the living room where bonds form, connections and togetherness makes me feel oh so warm. Jokes and stories are told, conversations and laughter begin to unfold. The kitchen, where distinct aromas trigger memories, tasting something that takes you back centuries. Various memories of trial and error, satisfying or not, they are yet to last forever. When stepping foot in the garden, tranquillity embarks, joy and appreciation sparks. Connection with nature where there is no gloom, thoughts and ideas begin to bloom. In the bedroom where dreams take flight, where rest is prioritized from dark till light. The place where you can express your feelings, the space where you can aid your personal healings. Descending the stairs to end up in the basement, watching movies with snacks for pure entertainment. A mixture of nostalgia and old memories form, This was the place you would always feel safe in, during a storm. This is home.
