A Home and a House

What does home mean to you? To me, it means a place to breathe, a place to eat, a place to meet. Home also means you can be yourself, and not become everyone else. It means it can’t be destroyed because of a mouse, unlike a house. A house can’t always say “Come home” but home doesn’t have to say anything, you just feel it in your bones. A house is built, home will not wilt. Some moments can feel like poo, but home is always there for you. Home gives you comfort, care, and love. A house gives you food, furniture, and warmth. It blocks the rain, but home keeps pain away. You can give a tour of a house and it’s outside but home is something that you feel on the inside.
