Meaning of Home

The Meaning of homes isn’t just the house. It’s what resides inside the house. The people, the nature, the items! Not the four walls, the things that are inside those four walls. Your home is a place of family, fun, hope, confidence. It's a calm space where our troubles melt away. Music can be found there, happiness can be found there, hope can be found there. A house is a place that was previously owned in my opinion. A home though is a place that is new that you created. In a nutshell: A home is a place that was once old, that you made new. Love is one of the main components of a home. A home is made out of love for your family, shelter, and happiness. It may be a place that you’ve decorated or changed several times, but it will always be a home to you. Plants can be found there, nature can be found there. A place you love is a home, a place you rarely use is a house. A few good questions I have though are: Is a cottage a home? Can a houseboat be a home? Is a place like overnight camp a home? A cottage can be a home if you adjust to it, but it’s a place that you don’t go to often, even if you own it. A cottage, in my opinion, is a home. The meaning of a home is the fact that you and your family love it there and you play, write, create, and listen to music there. You love your home, and that's what makes it a home. I believe that homes are a sanctuary of bonding and love, hope and excitement, creativity and family. That, that is a home. Home is where the heart is.
