What home means to me

I think that a house feels wrong. Houses are not the same as a home. Home is where I live and have a room decorated to my desire. Houses are where my friends live and where I visit and maybe have a sleepover. Comfort. Home is where I snuggle my dogs if I am nervous. I get nervous easily due to overthinking about school, tests, and quizzes and I can not sleep but I am able to sleep when I snuggle my dogs. When I get scared I talk to my mom. When we talk I always feel good then go to sleep unlike when I talk to a friend at their house. When I was little I was scared of thunderstorms. When there were thunderstorms I would go to my parents for comfort. Security is different then comfort. Security. I always feel safe in my own home. Once I was in Barbados and we got robbed. The doors were not locked properly when we were asleep and for the rest of the trip I felt off. When you are home you feel safe. Some people don’t have that feeling at their house and maybe get abused and if I were them I would feel like that is a house not my home. When I am in my room on the internet I feel safe. On my phone I have a parental guard so I can't get into anything bad by accident. That is why I love my home. Feelings. Everybody has feelings and reacts to things in different ways. When I am sick I feel safe. My parents will give me medicine to feel better but some kids can't afford that and or just don't get that kind of treatment. If you get nightmares you go to your parents and feel better. Sadly some children do not have that. They can be too afraid to go to them and might get scolded. My room is decorated to my desire but some kids don't have that and are not trusted or are not allowed to make your room feel like your room and your happy place. There are things you experience like comfort, security, and different kinds of feelings. This is why everybody needs a home and not a house!
