The Difference between a House and a Home

I have been on a lot of trips and it does not feel like a home at first. Then it starts feeling like a home. When you first get a place it is a house, but then you get used to it and then you feel like it is your home. Moving can be a good thing, because it allows you to experience new things. A home is where you make memories and stay for a while, but a house can become a home even if it is for a little while. A little while could be enough time for a lot of things and just that little while can mean a lot. A house is where you stay for a little just to have a place to stay. You can make the house feel like it is yours if you just bring items from home like your clothes, toys, decorations and other things. The only way to make it like home is if you make it like you and how you want. It needs to call your name and say this is your home. Wherever you live you have to feel like you belong there. If you don’t you, should find a way to feel like you belong. You could change it up and put new stuff in it. You could bring your stuff and make it like it used to be or do it your way. A home is also where your loved ones are and stuff you love. If you are by yourself and living alone you probably have something that you love.
