How A House Makes A Home

My houses are my homes. When I walk into my house it feels like home, when I walk into home it feels like MY house, because it IS my house, it IS my home, this is how my house feels like home. I have six different houses i regularly go to….. But it feels like home more than house and i think one of the things that makes it feel like home is the unexplainable feeling you get when you walk in your house for the first, second, third, millionth, billionth, or TRILLIONTH time you just…. I don’t know you get that feeling like, i love this place. I don't know anything like that. I think the BIGGEST part about a house feeling like a home is the family. All people aren’t EXACTLY identical and even if they are EXACTLY identical they probably don't like the same things, and if they DO well ... uh ... yeah i don't really know what happens then. Anyways let's say that they DON’T like the same things, so one member likes fancy stuff, another likes antiques, and it goes on and on and on and on, and the list would NEVER EVER END, so for example: when i walk into my MOMS house, it feels and is different from my dads house, and that's probably why it makes EVERY SINGLE house feel like home. Now, i don’t know if i explained that PERFECTLY but HOPEFULLY you’ll get where i’m coming from. Every house looks different, feels different and is different, that's for me why it feels like home.. Because if EVERY SINGLE house was IDENTICALLY the same that would kind of suck. Imagine not liking how your house looks, or just your house, but NEVER escaping that feeling because every house is the same. In my opinion you grow a taste for your house because you know it's your house, and ALSO in my opinion that taste helps your house feel like home. Now, everyone deserves a home, but it’s really sad because millions maybe BILLIONS don't have a home and they NEVER get one and they work EXTREMELY hard their whole lives, but yet they still never get on which is why i’m glad to write this because money is donated to building a home. That's to me what makes a house a home.
