The Meaning of Home to Me

Home, to me, is far more than just bricks, tiles, and windows. It is a sanctuary of comfort, warmth, and joy, where kindness thrives. It is where I can savour the delicious meals prepared by my mother, and feel a sense of belonging. A home is a place where judgment is absent, and it is perfectly okay to express emotions, whether through laughter or tears. It is where I feel happiness, safety, and freedom, and where friendship, love, and trust are nurtured. The memories and moments created within its walls are invaluable, cherished like gold. A house may be a structure, but a home is where one finds solace and peace. I learn rights and wrongs; it is okay to have flaws. My home will always be deep down in my heart no matter what. Everyone deserves a home, so thank you Habitat for humanity.
