Home

To me, the meaning of home is acceptance. I can talk without thinking and they understand me. I can be me and I do not need to keep secrets. I am going to show you what I mean. I feel I can talk without thinking because I know my family members will not ridicule me. For example, if I were to ask a silly question with an obvious answer, they would not laugh or make fun of me; they would simply tell me. I can be me because I know that no matter what they accept and love me. I love and accept them too. If I were to tell them something personal about myself, they would accept and support me. I do not need to keep secrets because I know I can trust my family and my home is a safe, trusting place. Anyone who lives in my home I can rely on. In my home, I feel safe and I can express myself without worrying what others think. Overall, to me, home is a place where I know I can share my opinions and be me while being accepted and loved.
