Meaning Of Home.

The meaning of home is more than a building. It is a structure that protects you from storms, both inside and outside of your head. It might feel tumultuous even just leaving your home without those who care enough to protect you and love you. Your family lives in your home, and so does the love you share. The euphoric childhood you had still lives there, and it remembers you, your laughter, and your smiles. Similar to the love and care your family gives you, this love helps you realize that you have a home. You may not realize the memories that live inside the walls or where your old toys once were, but you remember your home as a happy place where you felt loved, cared for, and welcomed. A home is much more than you think. It's where you grow, grow physically and mentally. Home is not only a building made of bricks, plaster, and wood. It's made of your memories, the good and the bad ones. My home isn't just a building. It's a place where the wood used to build it has marks and chips out of it from me, from my memories of playing and breaking stuff. Not only does my house carry the memories I made, but it carries me. It's my home. Just like how your home carries you throughout the highs and lows in life, your highs and lows might've been in that home for all I know. But I know one thing for sure: in your home, people love and care for you throughout your life, just like how you love them throughout theirs.
