There Is No Place Like Home Do you know how it is like not to sleep in bed at night or have a place to live in? Well I certainly don’t, Everyone needs a home, even homeless people do.

The best part of having a home is that I can be myself, I can be accepted for the person I really am, and no one can judge me about it. It is like having freedom. I always feel free from all of the bad
