Safe Haven

I believe a home means many things. In terms of many things I am talking about the fact that you can walk home or get driven home knowing that when you arrive at the destination, you can see your parents and tell them you love them. In other parts of the world, some may believe that their homes are a jail cell or whatever as if some may not have loving parents or anything at home that pleases them. A home does not need to be somewhere where you have family members or somewhere where there are a lot of people. It matters where you feel safe and relaxed.


Many military kids can relate that a home does not matter of where your house is but of where your parents lay. Our parents are the key source of how we made ourselves and chose what a home is. I have moved many times house to house, brick to brick without knowing that we were moving instead of taking a vacation when I was younger. In Alabama, 2010 I lived in a medium-sized town named “Montgomery,””, which was pretty special to me as if I was raised there from my young ages to my middle childhood. My house was pretty big and was also right next to my friend's house, who at the time was extremely wealthy at that time. Our houses were right next to each other, so whenever I would wander outside and arrive at a house, I would know I would be safe as if their home and my home were both safe havens that were and were located right next to each other as stated again.


After a few years of living in Alabama, I would constantly be moving as if right after Alabama I would move to Germany then after maybe 2 or 3 years I would move to California then right after that I would move to Kansas for 2 years. I can definitely say that Kansas is where I definitely enjoyed my home the most. In those 2 years of staying there, I have many memories of my parents and friends at my home having fun. Yes, I understand that a home isn't all about fun, but when reminiscing about your past life and homes, you would automatically think of all the memories.


In summary, many can state that a home is where you don't need to worry about where it is, but about who is there in a certain place. I can assume that many people have a place called home while others may not but can also assume many don't. I believe that a home is where you rest and lay but also where your family members stay, but it is also to preference or just how your life is.
