My home

A home is a place where we all feel safe. A home could be anything whether it’s a cave, a tree or a house! Houses are structures with 4 walls and a roof. They have rooms and doors but no memories sealed in themselves. A home is the keeper of memories. It is a place where you can look back and see yourself like a story. A home is where (whether human or animal) you can look at and think “this is a safe comfortable place”. My home reminds me of the fresh smell of books. I see myself eating, sleeping and having fun. My home supports me and my entire family. It is where we make the most of our life whether happy or sad. Houses are keepers of less important items that are not memories. They feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Homes can be made or found anywhere. Houses can’t be made anywhere except flat land Homes have a unique history whether big or small. Houses only carry the history of its construction. Homes can be big or small, green or blue, tall or short, but houses are just a vertical 3D rectangular blob with a roof smacked onto the top. Homes are a part of families.
