Childhood Home

Sometimes, I pretend that my childhood home was more a mansion than a house. I remember memories that would replay over and over in my childhood home. I never knew that my childhood home was haunted because I remember seeing and hearing things that were unbelievable, but yet, still so real to me. I remember the staircase that went upstairs to my room although, they were two in half flights of stairs, and a chandelier that I would always stare at and dreamed that it was the sun in my childhood home. I remember watching a lot of TV shows that I sometimes would want to watch as I did in my childhood home. I remember my childhood home was by a school that I went to for a year in a half. I remember that my childhood home didn’t have a porch, but had a big backyard that was street to street. I remember having more family members in my childhood home than I do now. I sometimes don’t remember waking up in my parents room, when I started sleeping in my room at my childhood home. This place was more mysterious inside than the house was looking outside, just like a normal family home.  Sometimes, I wish my childhood home was my adult home more because the bigger it was, the more space I have. I never knew I would grow up in four different homes because I thought my childhood home would always stay as my home. I never knew my childhood home wasn’t gonna be my forever home because one day I had to let go of that place that was so dear to me. My childhood home is still so dear to me, but yet, there are so many places I have been to that are dear to me as well. In my dreams, I sometimes still live in my childhood home, even though I don’t live there anymore. My childhood home knew the person of who I was, but didn’t know the person that I am now. There could be so many places that I could describe to you but there is a reason why I chose my childhood home. It’s the place that I always go back to in my head, even though I am not there now. My childhood home was one of the many places that led me to where I am today. Now, I hope you know the reason why I chose to describe my childhood home.
