A Joyful Feeling

Home can be many things… Home to me is a place to learn, to play, to think, and to dream. Home is not a building, but a feeling. You could be in an exact replica of your actual home, but it still wouldn’t feel like home. Home is the soft couch waiting for you after a long day at school. Home is the smell of fresh bread in the morning to wake you up. A house and a home are vastly different, a house is built mechanically, while a home is built on memories and spirit. Home is a place to reflect, to plan, to reset, to love, to laugh, to live. Home can be anywhere, not just your house. For example, school can be a second home, or a trusted relative’s house. Home is a feeling everyone deserves, it is a necessity for a happy and healthy life. I write this because millions, possibly billions of people don’t have this feeling. I write this in tribute to those people, so that they can have this joyful feeling. Feeling like you’re home is a blessing. Everyone deserves it.
