Home is Where I Can Be Me

Home to me is like a big warm hug that covers me when I'm sad. Home feels like a life vest that keeps me from drowning in my thoughts and emotions that don't make me feel that good. Home isn’t just a house or a but it’s also a safe place surrounded by people who love me. At my home we play fun games at night where I feel happy. Our jokes fill the room even if the weather outside isn’t that good. Some days when I'm not feeling so good I think of home as a safe and fun place for me to be. Home feels like a jacket that protects me from the rain and snow. It keeps me warm and safe even when I don't feel so well. When I think of my home I think of cold Autumn nights when my family comes over and we roast soft,warm and sweet marshmallows on sticks.I can almost smell the sweet roasted scent of marshmallows and the fire keeping my hands from feeling as cold as ice. Home isn’t just a place where you can spend time with family. Home is a place where you can talk and spend time with people who you care about like your friends as well as your family. At home I never feel alone. I feel like I belong and am not out of place.Home and all the fun memories that come with it are worth more than gold,silver, something not even money can buy. Money can buy a house but to make it a home you need people who love and care about you. This is why Habitat for Humanity is so important because they build houses for people to make homes. At home I can be me!
