A House Is Not A Home

Home. What do you think of when you hear the word home? You could have a totally different opinion. But I am going to show you what home means to me. I hope you like it. A home is very different from a house. The structure is the same but what’s inside is what matters. A home is made up of emotions like happiness, sadness, love, kindness and helping hands. But a house doesn’t have those things, after all it’s just bricks and wood! A home has people that care about you and want to see you happy and smiling! A house doesn’t have those same people. A home has memories of things we did, whether they were bad or good. We do things in a house but they are not as memorable. You can feel comfortable being yourself in your home. You can grow and get education at home. You can be yourself, grow and be surrounded by your family. You can discover new opportunities in a home., like creating and making memories together. In a home you spend time with your family. And enjoy each other’s company. That’s why a house is not a home unless you can create memories that will last you forever.
