What Home Means To Me

What does home mean to me? To me, home means love, peace, shelter, family, care and memories. Home is very special. Some people may not have a home, so we have to treat our home like a safe space. Home is a place that everyone would dream of. Home is a wonderful place that you get to enjoy. In fact you might even have pets, or family members in that home. It's something where we express and share our feelings. It's a warm, calming area. You should be thankful for having a home, to be able to do all those things like, playing games, doing art, eating food. And in our home some of us have beds that we sleep in, chairs that we sit in and kitchens that we make food in. It's what some people dream of if they've never had that feeling. So you should have a lot of thankfulness in your heart, to have a home in your life. In your home, the future is still awaiting from a far, far, distance. Think of it, on the top of your house you have a roof, covering your head, you have a floor, that you step on to not hurt your feet, you have walls, to get your own personal space. But the most important thing about having a home is seeing your family. They love you, you love them, think about all the things you did with your family and all the things you still can do with your family in a home. This is why your home means so much to you. Your family warms you, your family loves you, your family is caring, positive, sweet, and they always are by your side to protect you. We all have feelings to show, to keep and share. We can express them in our home and bring them into our life. Home is everything you could imagine, you can do almost everything in a home. It's something to be so grateful for in your life to have a home. Home is somewhere to enjoy and to have fun in. Home is somewhere to play, have friends over and to take care of. Home has comfortable surroundings with your family. It’s an amazing experience to do so many awesome things and activities in your home. My favourite thing to do in my home is to see and hang out with my family, pets and friends. And I love to bake with my mom in my home. I love to play video games with my brothers. And I also love to joke around with my dad in my home. You don't need any gifts. Home is the best gift you can receive. I can’t wait to do way more awesome and exciting things in my home with my family in the future. And I hope you're excited to do more things at home in the future too just like me. That is everything about what home means to me.
