What a place I call home feels to me

Let me give you a run-through of what home means to me! Home to me is a place I belong with family and friends who support me along the way. Home to me is a perfect house where loved ones and sweet memories belong, and it's a place I truly belong. Home to me is a place I can be me and a place I can be truly free. Home to me is where I get taught wrong to right. Home is a chance for me to experience many things. Home makes me feel comfortable with my family beside me, my friends, and the people I can trust. A home is not a house. A house is not a home. A house is where I and my family live. They make me feel loved and cared for. And it's where I get to see them all day. To me, a house is the key to the feeling of home. A house is where everyone sees each other, and it's where new memories are made and hung up on the wall. My house has walls—many walls hung up with family pictures and joyful moments. It's a collage of sweet memories. Everywhere I wonder in my home, there's always a positive thought floating around me, and there's no way I could be thinking negatively in a house like that. Every picture I look brings back sweet memories, sweet thoughts and It's really relaxing when you're broken down. What do you think about that? But there's so much to enjoy in the present that you can’t get stuck in the past. My family is a strong, connected piece that can fall and break at points but gets up feeling connected and keeps on going. My family is a thread that contains celebrations and traditions that we have held for generations. I like to celebrate my culture at a place I call home. To me, family is a place where I can feel at home. It's the place I care about the most, with the people who care about me the most. Home is a thought. that should be brought by happiness and joy that no one can destroy. Home feels perfect. It makes you feel like you belong there, no matter what. It makes you feel that there's no other place you could feel better than the place you call home. So this is the meaning of home, where we never feel alone.
