A place you call "home"

Home isn't just where you live, people can call school, work and even a country's “home”. No matter what language they all have the same meaning. A home is a place where you feel loved, respected and cared for. A home is a place where the warmth of the sun meets your bare eye with silence; seconds later laughter and smiles light up the small room. A home is a place where you can understand and respect others. A home can also be a place where you are with your friends, family and even neighbors. You may feel lonely, sad or upset; but the people there will support you. No matter how many people are there, it will always stay the same. No matter if you say maison, 家, casa or Lar, they all have the same meaning. You may call your parents, mama, mommy, mother, father, papa, dada; they all mean the same thing. You can even call your best friend “Sister” if they are so close to you. No matter what, “home” can mean anything. Remember, a place you call “Home” is unique in your way.
