Home isn't just a Place You Live in

Home can mean many different things! A home can mean a place you live in, it can also mean a person too! To me home is like a person. They're your friends, best friends, dogs, cats, brothers, sisters, etc. But my home is my best friend. Both boy and girl. Which I call my homeboy and homegirl. They're the people in your life that make you feel like it's worth living. They are there for you when you're at your lowest and at your highest. Even when you have you ups and downs, they still manage to put a smile on your face. Their the people you can be yourself when you're around them. No matter where, when, and how, they'll always be right by your side. Your best friends are the people you can make fun of, knowing it's all love. They don't care about your looks, but your personality, your mental health, and the way you treat them. It doesn't matter if you just met them, it matters how close your connection is with them and how you really love them with all your heart. When I am with them, they bring out my inner child, make me laugh until it's hard to breathe, allow you to be goofy without any judgment, and people who you genuinely just love more than yourself. Without them there, not a part of your life anymore, would physically and mentally make you feel sick to your stomach, and make you feel like it's nothing, and just their presence can put a smile on your face without any reason at all, and with them makes you smile. Home is a place of love, joy, peace, warmth, and laughter, but home is also a person you deeply love with all your heart. Life without your special person is life with a home.
