The word “ Home” is boundless. We think the word “home” is just a place we live. Some people may think it is only a place where we eat and drink, but it is so much more vast than we think. If we ask a person with no shelter I feel that they will give an answer so extensive, because we only really understand the importance of a home when we no longer have it. Home is for the feeling where over a house is the structure. Home to me is not only the place where I find happiness but is also the place where I feel prudent and comfort, it's the place that radiates the energy from the sun. Home is a place where positivity is filled, this helps us feel supported by our family. Home is a place where we can fill up with all the created memories. A house to me is just a lifeless structure with four walls and a home will always be so much more than four walls, like a home can be a structure, a city, a country, or it can just be space. Home will never be a place so perished. Home is extraordinarily special yet so unpredictable at times. It’s where you feel the love and the sense of being and that's a feeling so powerful and supportive that everyone should feel. Some of the displaced people wish for a small house. Some wish for a big house. Some wish to go back in time to try harder. Some just feel like they can’t do it. No matter what, I feel that everyone with or without a home deserve one because approximately 150 millon people world wide are homeless which is definitely something that should not be happening.
