Home Is

Curling up on the couch to watch tv, covered by a soft blanket with my dog on my lap. To me, home is more than a place. It is where I belong. It is where I keep my heart, my mind and my soul. Safe. Happy. Free. A place to go when I am sad, afraid or alone. A place I love and feel loved. Home. In the kitchen, making vanilla icing with the warm, delicious smell of fresh chocolate cake all around me. Coming home from school, my mom handing me a mug of warm hot chocolate. Laying in my bed, holding a squishmallow, with memories swirling around me. Home. A place where I can be myself. Playing roblox with my sister. Laughing, as me and my friends push each other down the snowhill at school in the wintertime. I think everybody needs and deserves a home. I am grateful to Habitat for Humanity giving people homes.
