At Least I Have a Home

I have moved houses five times, and not all those places felt like a home to me. It is hard to move all the time, because I can’t transform any of them to my home. But maybe this time I will be able to stay. This time this house can be turned into a home. What I do think about is that some people don’t even have a home. They have not even had 1 and I have at least one that feels like a home to me. I know my life as it keeps going on can’t be perfect, but I have to remember, I have a home, and I should be grateful for that. Hopefully in the future I will be with my family and my friends. I don’t see that homeless people are happy, they're not. So try to actually appreciate your home like I do, because you are lucky if you have a home rather than be homeless. I think you should spend more time with your family and your friends. Any place that is with your family can be a home. Spending some “time” on the streets sleeping on a cardboard box is not a home. We need to get houses that can be turned into homes. I hope this house will become my home, but if I move again, I will do my best to call another house my home.
