What is Home

Home is a place that makes you happy and everybody's home is different. Some people have bricks, some people have wood. Your house should feel like home to you, home is relaxing. When you move houses does it feel like your old house? For me it doesn't it takes a while to get used to your new home, home is joyful. When you go on vacation, is there something you miss? For me I always miss my animals. I have a cat and a dog, home is a place to be you. Every home has a smell and you are probably used to the smell of your home smell. I know whenever I go into someone else's home it smells different then my home, home is yours. Home is yours and your home is designed so you like it and if you don’t like it there are ways to change it so you like it. Like painting your home and decorating it, home is a place to be with your family. Some people don’t have a home or a house and if they did they would be really grateful to have one, home is beautiful. Houses are all different; some houses are made of woven reeds, mud, grass, banana leaves, bricks, snow, wood and more! Home is relaxing. Some people live in camper vans, hotels and more, home is fun. Now you may wonder “why do people have different homes”. People have different homes because some people can't afford other homes. Another reason is people don’t have the same interest like me and one of my friends because we are all different, home is cozy. A house is not a home and you may be wondering “ how is a house not a home”. A house is not a home because a house is a place you live in and is just a building. And a home is a place you laugh and spend time with your family. Also it doesn't matter what you live in, you could live in a castle or a mansion but without your family or anything that you love it wouldn't be the same. Every house is different. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are, you all live in a different house.Like a rabbit lives underground in a borrow and a person lives in a house and the house is above ground.
