What Home Is

For me a home means a place that I can feel safe and comfortable at the end of the day. It is a feeling in my heart. When I'm with my family I am happy and at home. Sometimes it’s the roof over my head and sometimes it’s right inside me. I try not to take it for granted because I know a lot of people don’t actually have homes. I always want to help somebody that doesn’t have a home. Even though my parents are divorced, I still think of my old home as my home. For somebody who doesn’t have a home, they really need to know that home is not just a place, it's also a feeling. Home is whatever you want it to be.
