From the Phone of a Teenage Girl

Home

Home is:
A place where when you go there, you feel safe being you.
A place that when you feel sad, there's a shoulder to cry on.
A place where people care about you and listen to you.
A place where you feel special and unique.
A place where you know you're needed.
A place where you smile so wide, you understand why it's called from ear to ear.
A place where you laugh so hard, you cry.
A place where everyone is family, blood-related or not.
A place where when you need a hug, the first person you ask will give you one.
A place that once it's gone, it becomes a deep hole in your heart, a vacancy that can't be filled with cold imitations and insincere condolences.
Having one home is enough, having more is a blessing, and losing one hurts so much.
