The Meaning of Home

In my home I smell perfume, pizza and much more, because in my home there is always food involved, in the morning, in the afternoon, and even and in the evening!!! When I touch my couch, I feel comfortable. When I use my yoyo I feel the string, and sometimes it hurts!!! Home is a safe place. A quiet place where I can relax and read my favorite books stuffed with detail!!! I see myself in my mirror, and when I use my iPad I play video games with my twin brother!!! When I am home, I hear my dad shaving his beard and it is loud!!! When I go to school, I hear other vehicles’ wheels squealing really loud!!! Home is not just a house, it's a neighborhood or a school, where I feel safe or cozy, where I feel welcome. A place where friends dwell or lurk!!!
