Grace - Home

“Home, let me come home
Home is whenever I’m with you”- Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

It is not the physical building that creates a home,
Rather it is the closest friends and family that form the tight-knit community that make the feeling of a home.
It’s not the scene in which we are placed, rather it is the love that overflows and takes over the environment
An atmosphere where smiling faces and vibrant laughter floods the setting
It is the emotions, and the feelings and most importantly, the LOVE.
LOVE is so powerful it can create an imaginary dwelling any place and any time.

Grace, age 17
