Home is Life

Home isn’t just to sleep and rest, it's where I feel safe, play games and eat everyday. When I was younger I would sneak into the kitchen. I grab a boiled egg and eat anyway and it was like heaven that was in the Philippines. My home is also in the Philippines and that's where I lived. Before that I was in Thailand and after Thailand I came to the Philippines. I stayed there for 3 years. A home isn't just a place with a roof and walls; It is the feeling of safety and the sound of laughter that turns a building into a sanctuary for the heart. While a house provides shelter from the wind and rain, a true home is a life from family, the comforting scent of a favorite meal, and the knowledge of being safe. Also at home is the glow of a lamp in the window which tells me where I belong. Home tells me where to go when I'm lost. I'll know the way home and go there immediately, home is life because without a home, life is worthless.
