My Meaning of Home

Home means a lot of different things for a lot of different people, for me it means Family, Safe, and Kindness. Whenever I’m with my family I feel at home. To me my family is my Mom, my Dad, and me. Whether we’re playing video games, watching a movie, or even emptying the dishwasher, everything becomes something fun. But they are not just my fun in life, they’re also the people I can trust and go to if I need to talk. I especially love playing video games with my family because my Mom and Dad make jokes. It's fun. Hanging out with my family is always a highlight of the day. When I feel safety I also feel at home. If the house doesn't feel safe it doesn't feel comforting. My home feels really safe right now because I have a roof over my head, nice food and water, and a loving family. My home is a place I will never forget because it is safe. I believe if every house is safe the world might be a better place. Home should be safe for everyone. To me kindness means home as well. At home it always feels like someone is there if you need them. Even the simple act of Kindness of getting someone a cookie or making them a treat, always makes the house feel warm and welcoming. I believe that every home in the whole wide world should feel like Kindness runs through the pipes and walls so it feels as favorable as it does to me for you. In closing,my home is a place where I can feel comfort. Whether home means Family, Safe or Kindness to you, I hope it comforts you like every good home should.
