My Home is Not Just a Building

My home is not just a building. It is my life. It is the place where I: eat, sleep, talk, share memories, and have fun. It is my place that is packed with stories, coziness, and fun. Even if there are two of us, or 5 of us, or maybe 10 of us! It will always be my safe space, my space to relax, cook, or cuddle. It does not matter if your home is your school, the place you learn and make friends. Or your bed, the place you lay down with no ends. Your playroom might be where you play. Or even a person, a home does not have to be a room that you can stay in; it can be your mom, your favorite cookies or even your phone! Home is the only place that I can always come back to no matter what. If home is the smell of your grandma's sweet cherrie pie, or maybe the glow of the light that helps you read at night. It might be your pencil, your paper, your room. Or maybe just maybe your home is just you. It does not matter about who, what, where or why. All that matters is if it makes you feel good inside. Home is the how, How does it make you feel? If it makes you feel good then I think that you have found your perfect home.
