What is the difference between a house and a home

Not everyone has a house but we are trying to get everyone to feel safe and comfortable. The difference between a house and a home is that one could be anything: a box, a hotel, even a deluxe mansion but a home is where you feel like you can be yourself. That you are safe and that you are happy and you think about memories. That you don't worry about what is happening around you and just feel good about what you did today or earlier or what is coming. A place where you are relaxed and an area where you just think and nothing can put you down. A house can be just a place but home is different. A home doesn't have to be a building or a structure; it can be an animal or a person that you really care about. Something wherever you go is your home and they are what matters most to you, not a fancy home because you can design it however you want because as long as you and someone or something are at home or you feel at home then you will be happy. We can try to make people feel at home or comfortable by only making them feel at home on their own to find what makes them happy and what makes them feel at home. When they feel at home they will be happy and confident about themselves and when they like where they live. It might take a bit to feel at home but they will find it somehow. Everybody will find their home, they just need time. The more memories the easier it will be to make a house a home. Written by, Emma
