What A Home Is To Me

For me, home is a place where it is safe and warm, it is a place where you can be yourself and laugh. A home is not a place where you feel scared or in danger, that is not a home. A home doesn't have to be big or small, it could be any shape or size. It is a place where you have fun, and share love and care. It is a place where you can express yourself, and find comfort. It is a place where you can feel loved, and a place full of people that you can trust. However, home is not a place where you constantly feel scared or nervous. A home should not make you feel unsafe, a home should not be full of negativity. You should never feel afraid of your own home or the life inside of it. A home can be a place you can go if you feel unwell, but it should never be the place making you feel unwell. A home is where you can hear laughter and feel joy. A home is a place where you feel like you belong. A simple four walled house is not the same as a home. Because a home can have family, and memories made inside of it. It is a place where you can live peacefully and stay healthy. You should not struggle with the home you are living in. If you need help finding a better home, do not be afraid to ask. It is your home, and you should feel comfortable living in it.
