The difference between a Home and a House

A home is a home , and a house is a house. A home is a place where you will feel affection , but a house is where it will be uninhabited. A home is where you spend time with loved ones, but a house is where you will be all isolated. A home is where you live no matter where, but a house is a structured building, with a roof, and is square. A home is a place that has warmth from hugs, but a house is a place that has warmth from a machine. A home is a special place, it’s where you were raised, where you make memories, but a house lacks flashbacks from the past. A home is where you cry tears of sadness during hard times, and tears of joy during good times. A house is just not the same. A home is where you go through the roughest times, along with the best moments. It's a place where you have laughed, and at the same time sobbed in blankets. A house… it’s just not the same. A home is a home, and a house is a house.
