What Home Means to Me

Sometimes we think our home is just a place to sleep at night but it's really much more than that. It's like cutting a heart into four sections ,first part is love, second part is privacy, third part it's relaxing most of the time, fourth part is where memories are made . My home is usually quiet and still but there are just some days where it's so loud that when I talk to my friends it seems like a party or something is happening. It's not even my brother who is probably talking with his friends online. It's my parents either my mom talking to a relative and laughing like a big joke was told or my dad on a business call saying random stuff about things I have no clue about. It's still my home. My favorite room in my home has to be my bedroom because it's a place I can express myself in different ways whether it's art I do in school or rubber ducks I got in the United States visiting my aunt. My bedroom is like a story that is waiting to be started and I'm the author and illustrator. This may just be a room but it's still my home. My home has always been a place to just relax so when I moved I was very upset . I cared about losing the friends who were like home to me . When I came to Canada I made new friends who became home to me. Even though I'm very far north from my other friends they will always be my home. Home can be as far away as you want it to be as long as it's a place you recognize and are loved and feel safe but that is just for me it could be completely different to someone else Home isn't just a place, it's where you make good memories or fun memories or maybe bad memories. When you look at those memories you realize that a little fight or that big one won't separate you from your family, they will still be the people you trust. A reminder of your home might not just be some walls and a roof it might be friends or family or maybe you have a million things . Home is not just a way to describe your house or a building, it's where you have fun with friends, have some disagreements hopefully not though or even just have a nice rest. This is home to me and maybe it's the same for you. Home is like a big reminder that you're cherished and appreciated by a family member or even a friend, it can be anyone. Sometimes you might have to adjust your home because maybe there is a new friend in your group or a new sibling being born. You will have to get used to it but for sure your home will not change. Just because there is a new friend doesn't mean they will replace you and you won't have those friends anymore, it is just a little different. If you think your home has some walls and a roof, well that is not completely right . To me home is where the heart is, it can be anywhere given by anyone. A house has some walls and a roof that might be unrecognizable and just like the other buildings but home is friends, family , terrific memories and unpleasant conflicts and reasonable solutions. This is my home. Home is really more than a place to sleep and eat. To me it's my home where my memories are kept and will stay no matter where I go. Like a backpack I take everywhere, share with everyone and make with othersome is where the heart is .
