The Meaning of Home

Home is a place where you can express and elaborate on feelings without being discriminated against by other people, and a happy place where you can feel comfortable, a place where you make new memories, and hold old ones dear. Home is not in one spot. Home travels to wherever you feel happy, welcome, and warm. Home has been around for centuries, the general concept constantly evolving, but the core has always been the same. Home will always stay the same, no matter how much the term evolves. Home is a place that should be lively, with lots of jokes and fun things to talk about and say. Home should have teamwork. Teamwork shows that you care about a person’s feelings and want to help them out with something that they are spending a lot of time or effort on, or just that you want to spend more time with that person. Homes have treasured things in them, such as treasured clothing or a treasured antique. Home would not be home without a warm, dry place to stay, but it can be anywhere. Around the World, too many people do not have homes. Everybody deserves a home, and in some places, there are many people, but too few houses. Houses are the shell of a home. Homes are on the inside, but when there is no home in a house, it is merely an empty shell. No matter how big or small a home is, it always holds great value to the people who own it. Home is priceless. Houses are priced. Everyone deserves and needs both.
