What I think home is

To me, home is not just a shield from natural elements, but a sanctuary for my family, in which we play, eat, sleep and share memories in, and the home remembers all of that too the joy, sadness, hope and love. Home is like a warm embrace from who you love most. When I moved out of my old home, I felt as though some of my memories were erased, but then they came back in the new one and I still miss my old home but the new one has as strong memories as the old one. Family holds the home together as more than the memories. Family is the glue that keeps everything together because the moments we share with family are the best moments in my opinion, dinners, games, and all the other time we spend together connects us. When I walk into my home, I always smell good things in the kitchen like curry and other delicious stuff, I hear my brother playing bass, I see my cats coming up for pet and all of that makes me feel good, and that's what I see a home as a place for my family and I to stay and keep good and bad memories. Home is not just a building is what I'm trying to say, it's not just a place that you go to after school, not just a place to live, It's more than that what you rely on most is often forgotten, so please don't take it for granted like so many others have, because not everyone has the chance to have one.
