The sun disappears and the world becomes peaceful. With the bright sunlight no longer shining through the window, noisy bugs, owls, and the discreet creaking of the stairs keeps you alert. Everything seems louder yet quieter all at once. Look out the window and see nothing but a reflection; when stepping outside, you see shadow. Looking into windows, you can see different types of homes. Some homes seem creepy, and you can’t tell what goes on inside. Alone, lonely, and lifeless. Others seem light and happy. These are homes with children, families, and most importantly, love. No matter the size or demeanor, this is their happy place. This is home.
Though, there is another type of home. Your house is home, but what is your home? At your home, you can be you. This is where you discover who you are. Learn to live without judgment. You can seclude yourself from the world and discover your comfort zone.. This is where you are happiest. You know you are safe. But, you can also be sad. You can cry, you can be scared, you can worry, and you can have doubts. No matter what, you know that you belong. This is home.
