Home

Home is where I can be myself it is where all my worries disappear, and it’s the laughter that fills the air with light—a melody that chases away all my fear. It's the one place where I can completely be myself. It's the voices of love that make me feel safe, a space where warmth and love abound. The kitchen is where the best memories are made and where our greatest creations happen and where i love to spend my time on. The bedroom is a haven where we feel truly safe, letting go of the world outside and surrendering to dreams with hearts so fiery, their pulse awakening the soul. The living room shakes with a heart so fierce, its pulse igniting the soul. The den is where purpose forges unyielding ambition, and every moment is a storm, propelling us to do our most powerful work. The bathroom is a quiet war where tears and steam rise. When I look in the mirror, I always see a piece of art. The closet holds my most cherished things, a quiet bliss filled with memories and art. The garden is my heart’s paradise, a place where my most treasured plants flourish, each one carrying memories, love, and a piece of my soul. The times spent with my grandparents were the best part of my garden. The piano—how many times have my fingers danced across its keys since I was four? The melody that breathed life into every song, filling the room with sound. When everyone gathered, I played my heart out, and with each note, their applause felt like the rhythm of my soul being heard. Home is where my heart feels alive, my soul is free, and the world fades into peace."
