My Home is More Than Just a House

I love my home. My home is the place where I live with my mom and my 15 year old dog, Riley, no matter where I am. I love being taken care of by my family at home. A time I feel at home is when I am on a soft comfortable sofa with popcorn, chips or chocolate, wrapped in a blanket snuggling with my mom, Riley and one of my favorite stuffed animals like my E.T. in pyjamas hugging a star. I also feel at home when my house is filled with my stuff like my Disney character 2020 mugs, archery set and more. My house feels and becomes home for these and so many more remarkable reasons. My home is in the house I was raised in since I was born. My home has always been a house and I think it always will be. A house becomes my unique home with more than the people I love and my comfortable things. People deserve the things they want for their home but everyone might have different wants and building types for their home. That's why l would like to share what I want for a home along with what makes it unique. In my home I want there to be ecstatic energies flowing through the wondrous air. With positivity and being up and ready to help with sweeping, doing dishes and other chores to help maintain the house, I can make my mom happy at home too. What is especially unique about my home is that it's the only house with specific memories of me, my mom and Riley in the world.. My house my place to sleep but when I feel comfortable and have my stuff I feel like my house is more homey and safe when I sleep. Even though my house is just as secure as any other normal house with cameras and locks, I feel safer in my own home. My house feels like home for these reasons and many more, I love my home and all I wrote proves my home is more than just a house especially to me.
