Home is not a tangible thing

A home is not just a building, it’s almost a feeling. Homes are made up of many feelings and emotions, not objects. For example, comfort and love are some of the biggest but there are still smaller feelings like learning, sleep, and warmth. These little ones are just as important as all the others. It also matters that you can express your feelings freely, spend time with loved ones, know that you’re safe, eat good food and know that you truly belong there. Homes come in many different shapes and sizes and all people have one though sometimes it can be hard to tell. Some people think it’s about who has a bigger bedroom and stuff like that but truly it’s about family, feelings and memories. A home is not complete without a living heartbeat.
