Home.

North, East, South, and West, but home is best. Home to me is an environment of peace and comfort. It is a judgment-free zone that sets you off with a mindset of your own desires. It's a volume of growth in your own time including a style of harmony that can never be felt in any other capacity. You are not only given the offering of a never-ending relief, but a warmth unlike any other and an expanse to be yourself with no outside opinions. It's a space to let out all emotions and to have the glory of having something called privacy which not everyone is granted. A home is not just a building, it is a place filled with love and cheer, coziness and laughter, and peace. Home is a shield of protection. Where you feel safe, secure, and welcome. Home is where you belong. Something a home consists of is an unexplainable amount of love and support that cannot be bought. The amount of respect you get living in a home compared to not having a home is very heartbreaking. The truth is, not everyone is prone to a piece of land surrounding areas to eat, to sleep, to rest, to cry, to laugh, to play, to sit, or to enjoy family time in. It is such a privilege to have a place to call home, and it's something everyone should get, Thank you Habitat for Humanity for being able to give others the greatest gift of all, a space to call home.
