My Real Home Lives In My Heart

Home is what we call a building that is made up of walls, roofs and pipes, but that’s not what my home is to me. My home is way more than just a structure consisting of concrete and wood, my home is way bigger than that. My home is not just a building, and here’s why. My room; a place where relaxation and peace greets me when I step inside. Whenever I look around my room, gratitude flushes over me. My bed is a place where my body resets. It is filled with memories of all of the good nights that I had. My nightstand holds the pictures of past pets who I will always remember. My room is private, peaceful, and relaxing. My kitchen and dining table are where my family loves to cook and eat dinner together. We don’t just share meals; we share memories too, and those memories are cherished forever. We keep our table and kitchen clean and tidy, so next time we eat together, we can enjoy our time even more. My living room; a place where weekends and holidays are more relaxing and exciting than ever. On weekends, I come downstairs in the mornings to be embraced by a warm and cozy living room, with a family and a warm breakfast waiting for me. Every weekend and holiday, the warm greeting always happens. I come down to a fireplace burning, warming up the whole room, and a puppy who is stretched out on the couch, taking up the whole space. Every day, my living room is where morning greets me, and so does my family. When the stress of the day begins to take over and swallow me whole, home is waiting for me with all the love and people I could never replace. When the worries start to drain my energy, home is my reset button. Home’s cozy arms stretch out and wrap around me, giving me energy for the world’s challenges that will be thrown onto my shoulders. My home gives me happiness, a feeling that some people never get to experience. However, my home is not where all of my happiness is. My happiness is the people and memories that live alongside me in my heart. All of the memories will follow me forever. My friends, family, and pets are my real home, and my real home lives in my heart. Wherever they go, that’s where my real home is.
