Home is a Space Where We Feel Alive

Home is a space where we feel alive. For me, home is not just building a space where I live, it is a small space, where ordinary moments come together and make me feel safe. The things that make me feel warmth are the toys left on the sofa, the smell of food, only my mom can make. Every time I walk through the door, it's the sounds of my family laughing together around the television, it's a blanket that is thin but surprisingly warm, and a storage cabinet, cluttered, imperfect, yet deeply comforting. A home is messy, loud, and imperfect and that is exactly what makes it alive.
