How I know home

Home is not just the place where you sleep, eat, repeat. No, home is a place where you can finally feel safe, live happily, and feel affection. These are the reasons why home is a source of fulfillment in life. Home is where you feel the hugs of a loved one, or the comforting fur of a pet. When you feel the warmth of the seating in the living room, you start to feel safe. Home is where you see the sunset through the windows, or everybody having a fun time with each other. Maybe even a favorite activity is being played right in front of you. Home is the home-cooked meals that the family makes. Especially when the recipes are from past family members. When you are done with the tasty meal, a little dessert can’t hurt, can it? Home is the place where you can smell the aroma of food freshly made or being made. Or maybe the fireplace inside keeping you nice and toasty. Home is where you hear parents asking how your day was. Or maybe the music coming from a speaker. Also, the chatter at supper makes life nice. But most of all, home is where I can feel safe and comfortable, with loved ones all around. A place private and loving, this is home.
