Anonymous - Home

A house cannot be home, if you don’t feel welcomed.
When they say home is where the heart is,
They do not mean a home is one specific house, or building.
No.
In New Orleans, our home is all around.
Home is where, even tourists, feel extremely comfortable.
This is why New Orleans is considered a home,
To so many people, including those without a house here.
My heart is attached to New Orleans, and will always be.
This is how I know, New Orleans is my home.
