The Meaning of Home

Home does not just mean somewhere you live, it’s where you make memoirs. Home is a safe place to speak your mind, and you do not have to be afraid. When I wake up, I feel warm and cozy but not everyone is as lucky as we are. I am grateful and thankful for the roof over my head. Home is not just made from man made things but made from memorizes, happiness, love, some disagreements along the way but you get through it, you can get sad, but you get through it together as a family, and you are safe and not scared. You feel loved and happy, and nothing can take that away. When I wake up, I go into my parent's room and say, “good morning how was your sleep, my sleep was good thank you”. I feel happy, safe, and loved, nobody can take that away from me. I want everyone to have a home in the world and I pray for those how don’t have a roof over their head. Thinking about people that don’t have a roof over their head makes me sad because when I'm sad or mad home makes me happy. Home is not just somewhere to sleep it’s a place to get away from the things that might make you mad are sad. Even if you don’t have a big home, you can still have lots of fun, and happy memories as long as you are with your family.
