House VS Home

People often confuse a house for a warm home, and some people think those two words have the same meaning, but they are mistaken. Do not worry, because I’m here to explain the difference between a house and a home! First I will explain what a nice house is. A cool house is a place, made of bricks and wood. Sometimes it is called a tall structure. It can come in different sizes and shapes. There may be bright colours, or comfy furniture. You may have soft couches and hard tables, delicate vases and colourful flowers. It's a great place to hang out. Although houses might seem great, they are actually not what they seem. Houses do not give off that loving energy that homes do. A home is not a structure. A home is a feeling. A home gives off warmth and love. Home is like a never ending story, you may come across tough obstacles but you can always get up. Home is where I can get delicious meals. A home is where one may feel safe. Home is something to be grateful for. A wise person once said, “A home is where happiness starts and love never ends.” I agree with that amazing person. Love isn’t something that will come and go, love is always in our hearts. I strongly believe everyone deserves a home, even if we're all different. No matter what gender, or race because deep down, were all the same. We all deserve a wonderful home. That is why I am writing this paragraph, I really want to help those who don’t have one. I hope that I can help and contribute to this amazing cause. This is what I think the difference between a house and a home is.
