The meaning of home to me

Home is not always a house, a house is a structure that you can feel and touch, home is where memories have been shared and love is throughout everywhere. A house may have a fancy design, but a home is where you can truly shine. In a house with laughter, joy and happiness it's a place you can always be you. They say sharing is caring, a home is where you have shared many memories with loved ones. Houses may have love in the walls, but no house has as much love and creativity as in a home. A house might have a door and walls but a home does not need to be bought to be as amazing as a home is. Home is where I can be me, all the laughter and joy is what a home really is! When I think of home I would think, a family, not a building but love and kindness everywhere I look. The meaning of home to me is grabbing a blanket then making a cup of tea, and of course it's always made with love. You might feel cold sometimes in a house, but the love in a home is warmth to our favourite cup of coffee in the morning. When I think of love I would think of home is not just a house but also a happy place. What do you feel when you feel like home… I feel dancing and laughter, home is where the real you always truly comes out! Home could be a vine or you drinking a glass of wine but home is where I will know that you really shine.
