The Meaning of Home

The Meaning of Home 1 year ago I was living in a big apartment, my parents told me that we were moving! I was excited but I was sad at the same time. It's because we made so many memories in this apartment and I kind of didn’t want to leave. But, my parents already planned on moving so we started packing and moved into the new duplex. After a few days of sheer, hard work and the help of my family, we finally moved Woohoo! When I stepped into the duplex, the smell was so different and man I missed the old smell and how it looked. That night I was about to fall asleep but I could not sleep because of the smell. So I tried to sleep and eventually I did.The next morning, I woke up, got up from bed and went to the living room tired and exhausted. I sat down eating my breakfast. It felt like I was eating in some buddies' house. I felt so uncomfortable and the taste was so different, and the walls weren't smooth. Now, I love my new home!
