The Meaning of Home

The meaning of home Home is not just a building with furniture and different items but it is where people can feel safe. It's where people make memories, laugh with their families, and where people can trust others. My room is not just a bed, and a desk but it's where I have somewhere to sleep. It's where I have a roof over my head where I can feel cozy and where I can feel safe. My kitchen is not just a counter, pans, and a sink; it's where laughter comes out while cooking together, it's where amazing smells come out, it's where amazing dishes come out. My living room is not just a couch and a table, it's where me and my family have an ultimate hangout where we play games, where we watch tv together, and where we spend time. Cooking isn't just making different types of food, it's where different food from different cultures come out, it's where I try new food, and where I can spend time doing something I love to do, which is cooking. My backyard is not just grass flowers and different plants, it's where I grow plants, it’s where I make life in plants, and it’s where I can spend time growing things with my family. My pets are not just animals but they make me laugh when they do tricks, they make me happy when they learn new tricks, and they make me feel safe. My family are not just people but they try to make funny jokes about me and with me, they try to make me laugh and when I'm sad, they cheer me up and when I ask them to play a game, they say of course and we would play for hours!
