The true meaning of home

Many people think that house and home have the same meaning but no. House is a material thing you can buy with money. A house is just like a box on land. But a home, to me, is a place of comfort, a place of safety, and happiness. A home doesn’t depend on a structure .The only reason you can’t buy home with money is because home is made up of family and the feeling that family elicits. Home and family to me is the same thing. In a home you can have fun, and play stuff with your family. Home is an unbelievably comfortable place. A place where we can truly just be ourselves. The home is somewhere you can just be yourself, with most likely no one bothering you or being stressed out. Home to me is like spiritual meditation or spa for the heart and mind. Home is somewhere you can build your memories. Home just asks you to get all your bad emotions out without doing something crazy. Maybe even if you were to do something crazy, family which makes up home, can be understanding, forgiving, and healing. home is a safe haven. A famous saying that is very common is: Home is where your heart is. I like this saying because it helps support my reason that everyone should have a home because we all need and deserve one. even if it’s as small as a hut that people are living in! Even THAT should be enough to call a home.
