The Meaning of Home to Me

A house is not a home. A house may be important to you, but so is a home. A house is similar to a home because they are both special to you. To me, a home is where I visit a lot, but I don’t live there. A home is where we gather to spend time together or to celebrate holidays. A home can be pet-friendly, too. A home is safe, and you are protected by others there. A home is a warm place to be. It gets pretty cozy when you get used to being there. The home may get cold but that doesn’t mean it won’t be important. A home may be a camper or a small house, which doesn’t matter. Nothing is perfect, it just has to be special to you. My home is crazy and chaotic, it does get loud. That just means we are having fun and we are laughing a lot. It may not be quiet but it is still very important to me. My home is small because only two of my family members live there. My home is tidy, clean, smells nice and it is safe. THE END
