My Home

My home is a place where I can grow not only my brain, but also my heart. When I’m in my home, I have a sense of belonging, it is a place where I can feel warm and protected beyond the walls and roof of the house. I am happy when I am in my home because the overall atmosphere of the room is happy and inviting, like it is welcoming me in. My home feels welcoming and inviting because I can tell that nobody hates me or judges me because there is nobody to hate me. Only the people that I trust and love are with me in my home and they are also very kind to me, which already gives me a sense of belonging and warmth in my heart. The reason why I feel protected is because the warmth and feel of my home is different from the public. When I’m in crowded places, I feel like people are always watching and keeping a close eye on me, making sure I don’t make any mistakes, but when I’m at home, it’s different. If I make a mistake, then my family will forgive me and they won’t judge me. In conclusion, my home is a place that is far beyond the walls and roof, it is a place where I can feel welcomed, invited, protected, and warm. I love my home because of the emotions and memories that grow inside, whether good or bad I will still love my home. It isn’t how the house looks or how it is furnished, in my opinion, it’s how it feels.
