The Meaning of Home

Home to me feels warm. When it gets cold, there's shelter when I am in need. I like to play outside with the people in the neighborhood but when I'm not playing with them, I'm inside. Inside is a quiet place and looks joyful. I feel very comfortable there. I have a lot of good memories of the things that I do by myself or with my sister, brother, mom and my dad. Home could be an imaginary place or even a wish. Home to me sounds like a quiet place when I'm alone but when I want to be active or play with the people who I enjoy playing with, I go and have fun. Sometimes you need things but sometimes you just want it and those words are very different. A lot of people get the things that they want before the things that they need. It could be activities or a favorite game but it is a place to make friends and play with the people who I like to play with and who I feel comfortable around. The activities that I most like are sports like hockey and soccer or just building a snow fort in the winter. Another option that I like to do is to play video games with my friends and family. Home is a thing that people need in their life.
