House Vs. Home

A home and a house are different. A house can feel unsafe and unlovable even with 4 walls and a roof. A home can feel safe and loving because of the people who care about me, who are kind and trusting. I am in a star because in a star it is bright and like my home. If I didn't have a house and I was on the streets I would feel uncared for, unloved and would not feel well in my body. When I bought my house with my family it didn’t feel like home but when I put all of my stuff in it, it felt like home. I moved my stuff around like my bed, my toys and other things. Then, it felt like home. My advice to make a house your home is to change furniture around to make it feel like home, because home is where you want to be.
