What Home Truly Means

Home can be anything. It can be a big, fancy, mansion. It can be a small wooden shack. A home can even be a little cottage in the forest. Or home can be a tiny, cozy apartment. Whereas a house specifies one thing only. Always a similar shape and size, similar structure. Sometimes we need a little variety! A home is a place where you feel loved. A house is only a place with cold concrete walls. In a home, there are plenty of laughs. But in a house, and not a true home, there is no love, which equals to no laughter. A house may have valuables inside, and it may be expensive, but it has no true value. But a home should be treasured, because it has something more valuable than jewels or a house: love. And love is something that cannot be taken away by anyone.
