Home is more than a house. It’s a place where you have happy memories, and sad memories. It doesn’t have to be under a roof, it can be outside in a field, or playing with your friends. Home is like a warm blanket that keeps you warm when you’re cold. A place where you are welcome and respected for who you are. A place where you are understood and loved. Home feels like a warm comfortable place. You hear the sounds of the birds chirping each morning. The sound of a quiet breeze outside your house. Home is a place where you smell freshly baked cookies. Home is a place that holds meaning to you, not just 4 walls surrounding you. Home is a place created by love and affection. A place created by bonds and ties that connect you with one another. Home is a place that overflows you with emotion, memories: more than a house. In the end, home is the heartbeat within the walls. It is the place that knows your name without you having to speak it. It isn't just where you live, but where you are truly alive. Whether it’s a field of grass or a kitchen filled with light, home is the map that always leads you back to yourself.
