The True Meaning of Home

The True Meaning of Home Is a home, a house? Is a home just a completely dull structure? From the outside of a home it can be considered a house, however, inside a house, somewhere in that structure, there happens to be a home. When you say ‘My home’, what do you mean? You don’t just refer to the house. You refer to special places and people that bring you joy. All the places that have memories and bring you happiness such as your neighborhood, your school, the local parks, the city itself and many more places. The people who surround you with love. Those special places and people make the inside of a house a home, and those memories are remembered and cherished. A house provides you shelter and warmth, where you can feel safe physically. Whereas a home is a welcoming place, where you can express your emotions, and never feel afraid! A home is a personal structure which you can refer to my home, and really emphasize and feel proud of! A place that provides more than shelter and warmth, but love, laughter and joy! It is a place where fear does not exist! In a home, you feel safe physically and mentally, and your mind can be at rest. Your surroundings are brightened, because home is like a never-ending place, and everything is linked with each other. You are creating connections to everything within your home, and your home is linked with you. Home is more than ‘just a structure’. Home is an indescribable place, filled with the people you love, and the places with wonderful memories. The looks of a home don’t matter, home is what brings you love. My home will always remain a whole, and will never intersect.
