What is a home?

A home is a place where memories are held, love is found, little ones come along, new things come, updates happen, people pass, storms ruin, things get lost. A home is where love begins. We all have memories in houses, but in new homes we make more precious memories. Bad things happen, but that doesn't mean we can't love. We will always be able to love. Some people don't have a home, that doesn't mean they can't make one. So we all have houses but the most important thing is that we all have a home. Don't ever think you can’t make yourself a home; all you need is a happy place, memories, forgiving smells, and best of all, yourself. A house is a house, but does a house really have a happy place or memories? I can feel at home at my friends' home, my grandma's home, my neighbor’s home. But sometimes I feel sad or uncomfortable. Because sometimes it’s not home. Home is always my happy, comfortable place.
